I'll play Devil's advocate here and say that you *could* lower it with performance springs and just live with the excessive negative camber. Of course, you'll have additional tire wear to deal with. Is your car a daily driver or a weekend warrior? If you only put 3-5k a year, you might be able to stretch tire life 4-6 years if you find something with a higher treadwear rating. By then, it'll be time to ditch that rubber due to age.

Just make sure you get an alignment after the springs settle. The toe gets all out of whack with the drop, and not having this adjusted will burn tires up much more quickly than the negative camber ever will.

I might invest in SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts, but I will live with the front negative camber.
