Anyone know where I can purchase Tein or JIC coilovers, also which of the two is a better setup?

Default Coilovers

I had a question for those people who have coilovers in their cars. How fast are you wearing out your tires because of the negative camber? How low did you set the coilovers also? I am debating getting a set of coilovers, but am worried about tire wear, and how long my tires will last due to the negative camber.

i have the tein cs coilovers on my car, it's as low as it goes in the front and about 4-5 turns in the back from being slammed....i drive my car alot about 5 times a week daily.....tires will wear out quickly.....i've been rolling on my tires for about 1 1/2 years already with my car lowered....my friends told me to rotate my tires every 1000-2000 miles or every time you change your oil....i've been doing that ever since i lowered my car and i still have enough tread to last me at least another year

how many miles have you put on the tires currently, and what size rims do you have on your car? do you rotate the tires from back to front and front to back?

i put about 27,XXX miles on them, my rims are only 18x8.5 all around...the way i rotated them was front to back, then have them dismounted and mounted on the other side from left to right in a diagonal pattern

On the settings that you have the coilovers set at, how much of a drop do you think it is?

im not really sure, i think the fronts are about 2 1/4 '' drop, im not so sure, and the rear is about 1.50-1.75 drop, i'm trying to even them out, but the shop that installed my coilovers locked the spring seats too tight and i can't unlock them..
