i like the new wheel set up... looks aggressive... very nice.
the tire wear... another story. i agree... too low and too much negative camber.
i just replaced my all-seasons at 25k and had completely even wear across the tread area with the eibach and koni set up. i did change to the conti sport contact 2's for a more aggressive handler.
Thanks Andrew! Yeah, I like the little aggressive looks of it!

Cyril, your tire up front is a 235/35/19 (25.5 diameter) and mine is a 235/40/18 (24.4 diameter) ... you definitely have the same issue as i did...
time to bust out the cut off wheel and grinder and buy a new set of front tires... there is about one inch of extra bolt length you can remove, however if you ever have to reinstall the upper arm bolt you'll need a C clamp to squeeze it down to do so...

Cyril, that's not from camber... thats the tire rubbing on the suspension bolt from the upper arm, i had to shave it of with a die grinder to on my recent install as it was making contact cause i have a wider tire... the combination of the camber and lowering is making it rub on the bolt.
when the car is on a jack it was not making contact but when i put it down it did just slightly... that wear is too extreme to be a camber issue...
Thank you so much for your input Intenseblu! Now, I'm slowly seeing the light and I know I'm not the only one out there who can benefit your input!
My next question is:
1. Can I lift the front using 1 inch of the rubber pad? If not, what's the alternative?
2. Should I do the same with the rear too?
3. What brand of spring pad is compatible with the H&R cup kit?
I'm sorry guys but these are the things I really don't know much about.
