Default Tanabe Sustec DF210 Springs?

Hey all, been a while since I was on here. I bought a set of springs off a guy who was parting out his IS a couple years ago. They are Tanabe Sustec DF210's and I never put them on the car. I have a faint memory of him telling me they were made for the GS but he was rocking them on his IS, but I think he told me I would need a camber kit to make them fit right. Does this sound correct to anyone? Can I put these springs on my car without other modifications?

You can use those springs with no issue, the GS and IS share similar suspension components/setup. The camber kit will just straighten your tires out to reduce inner tire wear, fitment (or fit right) is not the reason for the camber kit.

How intense do you think the tire wear would be? I'm on the fence now about putting them on or selling them. I'm not really trying to spend more money on using them but if the tire wear isn't too intense I'd like to put them on. 2.3" sounds like it would affect it a good bit though.

get your toe to 0 and should be okay, camber wear ain't nearly as bad as toe wear
