I disagree... I rode around for a year+ on sportlines, and they rode pretty much like stock, because of their progressive design. I experienced no accelerated camber wear because of the sportlines either. I was overall, quite happy with the sportlines, HOWEVER, i DO NOT recommend them for integras because the drop is equal in front and back, and it looks like the front is about an inch taller then it should be, because of the wheel wells. I'd go with the pro-kit, and some good adjustable shocks.

I just bought sportlines for the 330 and haven't installed them yet, so I'll let ya know when its on... hoping for a decent drop but near-stock handling.

I dunno but maybe its diffrent for mustangs , on mustangs the sportlines drop the car 2 inches all the way around. Right now i'm runnin H&R supersports and that only dropped my car 1.5 in the front and 1.6 in the back and that drop alone is too much for my stock shocks and struts i have a pretty bouncy ride. Of course i think my spring rate is 700 im not sure what the sportlines are. Now as far as camber with my drop it'll take a while before i notice any tire wear from camber but with anthing that drops a car 2 inchs its gonna have pretty bad camber, thus uneven tire wear.

Depending on suspension geometry, some independant rear suspension cars have a lot more rear camber gain than others. Or in the case of a car with a live axle (i.e. Mustang), no camber gain in the rear, so rear tire wear won't be any different. Front camber gain will be all over the map depending on car make and model, it's all about geometry..
