Default WANNA GO LOWER!!! What do you guys think?

After lowering my car on H&R springs with the F-sport shocks, I still feel I need to drop the car a little bit more. The H&R springs provide a 1.4 inch drop in the front and 1.3 inch drop in the back. Ride and handling are great.

Here's how my car is sitting:



Anyways, I'm deciding to get a pair of coilovers to achieve a 1 finger gap all around for a more aggressive stance. However, I'd like to know how camber wear will be with this kind of drop...
With my setup I have right now, my camber is -1.3 in the front and -1.5 in the back.

Basically I am worried about camber wear if I do go lower. Help me out!!

Thanks!

I honestly love the way your car sits now... not a fan of having the tires tucked in but to each his own.

thanks for the input guys. Still debating... It's always in the back of my head to go lower. Everytime I look at my car, it says to me, "lower me more!"

Thinking about going with the Stance GR+ coilovers..... we'll see. Anyone know how these compare with BC racing and Megan?
