Any problems after lowering?

I have pulling on my car as well, and my previous lowered G35. Its because of the springs settling more on the left side of the car because of the chronic weight distribution asymmetry. When the car is lower on the left side the steering wheel turns to the right. Kinda like when you drive around with a spare tire on your car. The fix is relatively simple. Ride around with 4 people in the car (lol) all the time, or wait a few months for the left to totally settle, then take it back to the shop and have them swap the springs left to right. I spoke to guys at dynocomp and they said that would be a legit fix for the problem. The tech said it occurs regularly with aftermarket springs and with SUV's/jeeps. I though about doing this fix for my 3gs with tein h techs, but I want the car alittle lower , and the idea of the idea of the edfc seems really cool, so I got coilovers . You can fix the prob without dumping 2500 dollars. should cost you a few hundred dollars to make it perfect. How big are you? I am 6'5" , 300lbs and I had this problem within the first 3-4 weeks after dropping the car. I wonder if this happens with the smaller lexus drivers with aftermarket springs

I've been eating tires since my drop with Tanabe NF210's... and that ain't even a significant drop. I can't believe Lexus was bone-headed enough to remove camber adjustments, and no one was smart enough to think to offer a camber kit, since offering lowering options to a car with camber adjustment...

What type of mileage are you guys getting on the rear tires?
I have about 8-9k miles on my tires and the rears need to be replaced. Too much uneven wear due to the camber. The front tires look great!
