Default spring selection

hey everyone im looking to get springs for my car until i can afford the tein cs coilovers. I have a 98 gs 300 with the 17's from the gs430. Right now im looking to either get the tien high tech or s tech springs. My question is if i get the s tech will it be low to the point where the wheels camber so much that it would wear out my tires? I drive my car everyday and just got new tires and am not looking to get more anytime soon. And if anyone has pics of the two drops please please them up. Thanks for any suggestions in advance. Here is how my car looks now.

i havent noticed any camber issues but i've only had the drop a lil over a month..but i do drive a lot. I think i read elsewhere someone didnt have that much of a camber issue either...I think if you drop 2 inches or more that will cause camber wear really fast. can someone back me up on that?
