Any springs that won't eat tires?

when you lower the car it gives you negative camber right? so does that mean that the insides of ur tires will wear faster?

Not always, depends on who aligns your z. I've noticed with my tires the inside and outside wear evenly. I'm at about 12k.

the reason i was asking was because i havnt lowered mine yet and since my tires in the front wear on the outside more, if i lower it shouldnt it make it wear more evenly without a camber kit (just in the front)?

you need an alignment. alignments from the factory suck.
