Are the SPL rear camber arms appropriate for a DD car?

Thanks for the responses. I have no problems with paying the little extra for the SPLs, I think it's reasonably priced for a high quality part. My only concern is with significantly reducing the comfort of the car. Exactly how much of a noise, vibration and harshness increase can one expect from going from stock to SPLs? I really just don't want to make the car unpleasant to ride in.

You'll be happy... If anything car feels more sound.

Dude, you have a choice:

1. Return the car to stock ride height and the stock alignment and your amenity and enjoyment will not suffer and your rear tyre wear moves back into the OEM zone
2. Stay with the lowering springs and put up with excessive rear tyre wear
3. Fit SPC components and enjoy the amenity of your ride because NVH will only be marginally increased
4. Accept the fact that a lowered "look" implies you are stepping away from OEM NVH (which is not that flash anyway) and do it right, which is SPL

I know which choice I would make - but no matter what we think, it is your choice to make.

Fair enough, only options 3 and 4 are being considered. I keep hearing that SPL will increase NVH but I can't find any description on how much worse it really is. If the difference is only mild, I think I'll just go SPL and call it a day.
