Default Increased tire wear

Anyone with a lowered car notice increased tire wear. I want to get my GS lowered, but the guy at Les Schwab, told me they don't have a kit for my car because they don't make a camber adjustment kit for it. Therefore, he is not authorized to lower it. W/O a camber kit, he said it can be done, but I would have to get new tires very frequently.

Also I found a place that would, but they have H & R springs, are they any good?

Thanks,

nop there is no camber kit for the gs so when you lower the car, the camber might get out of spec and you will get more tirewear in the inside. but get this though. i have coilover and i lowered my car by over 3", and my alignment is just within spec. i still get more tire wear on the inside but it's not severe. with the h&r drop it shoudn't be as aggressive as mine, so you should be fine. the wear on the inside is still there, but it's not like you get new tires every month
