My settings came back into factory range with these. The kits are not cheap but give you the sense of security. After all the tires are $375 a piece so wearing a set of 4 will cost you more than the kits.
What ^ said. If you lower the car get an alignment (camber etc); otherwise the tires will be worn "relatively" quick.

I got TEIN Monoflex coilovers with EDFC and then had an alignment and corner balance done. The difference on the track compared to stock is amazing!

I totally agree! And if you're going to bother to go through all this, might as well do it right and get front and rear camber kits to get all your adjustments done right.
