Default Espelir springs impact to camber

Ok, I've narrowed down my decision to Espelir springs and KYB (possibly) shocks setup. (I was debating Espelir vs Daizen springs) Can anyone with this setup or had this setup or with different shocks, please let me know how bad the wheels cambered? And also, did it hasten the tread life on the tires much faster?

Espelir uses same spring rate as stock springs so ride is good but gives it a much nicer drop. KYB's I think are damn near OEM shocks so you will be fine.

I took my wheels off after 6 months and had completely even tire wear. Ltuned shocks/espelir springs. They go low too...check it on the stock wheels today in the snow. Mind you I have 150 pounds in the trunk...sand bags.

Frank, thanks for your informative input. Has anyone had any irregular vibrations with these springs with 19" wheels?

I had the setup Espelir/L-tuned shocks and 18" Weds staggered.
My bud two-times has it with 20" I-forged. We both think they are a great combo.

No abnormal tire wear noticed. I went through about 3 sets of tires.

I have Daizen SPrings with L-tuned shocks. Pretty nice setup. I running 19 inch HPo staggered. Tire life is preety good a got about a year and half on some fusion Z-rated. I think this springs go lower than the espleirs. Daziens drop 1.2 in the back and 1.9 in the front so it gives you a good drop, but not to extreme were your tires are tucked.
