Question Eibachs

Just purchased a 05 XF 6spd with low mileage, and love it. But....... it came with an "eibach springs" lowering mod already installed and has new rubber installed all around. Ride is good and firm but have camber issues, more so in the rear than front. it is very noticeable and am worried about premature inner tire wear becoming an issue. I have recently ordered a "DIY adjustable camber links", but along with the possible sway bar interference problem, I have also become aware that after installing and adjusting these links, I may/will have to also order "Toe in" adjustale links, as adjusting the camber will also slightly change the rear toe also. Also there may be fender clearance problems associated with this adjustment also. It seems that the the eibach lowering springs are perhaps not worth all the secondary issues associated with they're installation. So, should i start looking for some stock springs or go to all this trouble to retain the lowered look? Any thoughts out there?
