For the $150-200 more I'm willing to go with the coilover. I'd rather be able to set the height where I want it and ESPECIALLY avoid the rear sagging like some lowering springs do. Plus, by the time I buy the springs and a good set of dampers, I'm out more than coils anyway.

Will I need the whole camber kit or just the bolts to get rear camber back in spec?

If you're not lowering the vehicle much, you could probably get away with camber and tie bolts in the rear and upper camber arms up front. The tears seem to wear better with more camber than the fronts do. I wore out my fronts fairly quickly with a .9" drop and stock non-adjustable arms.

Do you mean the fronts? Also, How many miles did you get out of your tires before they "wore out pretty quickly"?

It wasn't long. New tires in January, OEM Bridgestones. I think the coilovers went on in May? By September there was noticeable wear, and by the end of November I felt I had to replace them ASAP. We're taking maybe 5,000 miles or a bit more, mostly highway.
