There really arent camber kits out there for our cars unfortunately.

If you drop the car and have the alingment done, say after about a week to let the springs settle, a good alignment should produce good conditions for tire wear.

You may rub a bit

Let me reword it so he doesn't get confused. You want to lower the car, then wait a week or so that the springs will settle. After the springs settle, then you get an alignment.

I installed my Tein CS already, but haven't adjusted. It's in the paint shop now and I planned on dropping it down some and putting the wheels on the day it comes out. Should I still wait a week from this point before alignment?

Just slam the front as low as it will go and leave the back at about two threads, anything else and you wont be happy. At least I wasnt.

driving around in the car should help it settle but if its been sitting, you shouldnt have to wait a full week

Coincidentally i just got my car back from the dealer today after installing the Tein CS and i too have a camber issue now... i was searching for a camber kit to fix the issue before my alignment in 2 weeks... and i am not even at the lowest setting yet, so i predict you may have the same problem. Got new wheels and tires too so its a must before uneven wear kicks in.

oh man, I just can't wait to be the next one with the same problem. Still waiting for my Tein CS V2 to come in so I'm running around with stock suspension on 19s. Actually I'm floating around. hahaha I'm already rubbing on the back wheels but I guess it'll be worst once I drop it a bit. Some member told me to do the heat gun trick to push away the plastic molding under the fender to keep it from rubbing onto the wheel. Gotta try that once I find a heat gun.
