Question Help me decide

Okay I need some good advised from experts.

Budget: $1600.00

I am currently sitting on Tein Springs 1.5 - 2.0 inch drop with no front and rear camber kit installed. So basically my rear tires has a really bad camber wear and I need to replace the tires probably soon.

My current rims are:
Staggered -
(2) 20x8.5 Axis Elite Matte Black/Machined
(2) 20x10 Axis Elite Matte Black/Machined

These are the two option I have.

1) Buy a TEIN SS-P COILOVER and buy two rear used tires until its time to replace all 4.

2) Buy front and rear camber kits with new rims and tires (rims/tires below).

Staggered -
(2) 20x8.5 Sportmax XXR 502 Chromium Black w/Chrome Stainless Steel Lip
(2) 20x10 Sportmax XXR 502 Chromium Black w/Chrome Stainless Steel Lip

Both option 1 and 2 total no more than $1600.00

Coils are obviously the way to go w/ suspension, but if you already have springs, just complete your current setup the correct way, and you can always go coils in the future. Think about it, if you get coils, you're STILL going to need camber kits to go as low as you want....

Recommendation, CAMBER KITS & RIMS/TIRES FTW!

Well originally I was going to say coil overs, but not knowing the offsets and fit of your current wheels, I would have to agree with 1CleanG and recommend you go with the camber kits. They will still be useful to you down the road when you do finally add coils, plus you get new wheels and tires in the deal!

Posting pics of your current situation always helps, so we can see the front & rear stance, wear of tires, and clearance of your set up. Maybe there is a simpler way to go right now that will get you down the road farther without spending that much. You may only need kits for the rear if that is where your main problem is. Otherwise kits F&R are recommended.

If you like your current wheels then just get f+r camber kits replace your rear tires and get something else you want for your car. If you like those other wheels in the deal better then go with that.
