Now hold on a min.. bro...
If you lower your car any more than 2 inchs i can see a problem with what your having...
But If your only going 2 inch you wont have a problem with getting a camber kit or anything like that...
2 inch drop and an alighment will do the job right...

Ummm, I hate to say it, but you have no right to complain. Why the heck would you lower your car 3" without a camber kit and expect your tires to wear properly?

I just raised mine up to *ALMOST* stock height. It grips the road and won't let go. I was accelerating past 150 on an onramp, not a squeal from the tires or ANYTHING, it was as smooth as it would be at 80 in a stock car.

You can do the job without a spring compressor, you just do other things.
He did the springs on my friend's Mazda Precida last weekend and did a wicked job, my friend is more then happy with Matt's work.
Neuspeed springs are very good, high spring rates and not to pricey. I had them on my old hatch and loved em.

I have ground control coilovers with tokico illumina fully adjustable shocks, on top of that i got camber kits for all 4 corners in total with the allignment i paid 1700. For installation i have this really rich friend who i've known since i was 3. He lives in caledon on like 7 acres of land and his dad has his own shop in their garage in their backyard. Lift tools and everything else u can dream of its quite a site any way i paid $0 for my installation seeing as were good friends. Boy was i lucky!!!!
