If your running stock rims and tires you shouldn't have any problem getting the camber adjusted and not having any problems with rubbing and tire wear. I have the S-Techs with 18's with a 245/40 and they rub. I'll be putting the H-Techs on in a couple weeks and if I have any problems I will buying new tires and then eventually going with a coilovr setup.

After you install them, get it aligned, your tires will wear fine. Camber is not a problem. Mine are wearing fine. You'll love the look and feel of the new springs, I did! :-)

Got a few pics in my

Would put one up here, but seems "we todd racing" is currently down (today is feb26 @6:20pm)

You should be fine with 18's, but get a 235/40. I'm running a 245 so it's a bit taller. I know it's impossible to get my camber adjusted with the tires I have now, but I'm not sure with 235's.

I have the H-Tech's on the way so I hope it will take care of the rubbing. I will aso be going with some 235's in the really near future.

As for the rubbing, it rubs in the front only on big bumps or hard cornering. I haven't found any damage yet, but I still don't like it.
