James,
No, I think I have done enough already... gone overboard, really...
Okay, the wife has left the room...
Brakes, Exhaust and painting the skirts and flares... but THAT'S IT!
Um,,, well maybe a chip and a pulley... and there was that Pioneer Stereo I really liked...
I need to get a second job!

Oh yeah. Me too.
Her: "Isn't that exhaust (or other item) brand new? Doesn't it work? Why do you need a new one?"
Me: "Because it will improve the performance (or aesthetics, or functionality) of the car."
Her: "Well I still don't understand why you need to spend money for things to put on a brand new car."

You might as well be speaking greek. You can tell that they don't get it when they try to argue with you using mere logic (of all things)!

How much camber gain is experienced with the H&R springs?
Assuming that there is some gain ...
If one were to return the camber back to stock to avoid undue tire wear, then I presume outer tire rub would result.
Commnets?

Interesting to see this old thread resurface!
Just for the record, after living with this setup for a week or so, I did get some rubbing. I trimmed a bit of the rear fender liners (there is a how-to posted at the top of the performance mod thread, that I created while doing it) and that took care of the problem.
The car does indedeed sit pretty level. the photos from my driveway are a little decieving with the slope.
As far as camber change goes, it looks a bit too much. I am going to replace the lower links to solve the problem, but the pully and computer mod come first.
Cheers
