How many miles do you drive a year? That's the better measure for tire wear, not time.

A little below average... I'd say roughly 9-10k a year

Weird your name is Jeff also and your from my town which is not very big haha. My guess is you live less than 5 minutes away from me.

Anywho I went with Eibach's. Both are good I just prefer the look on the Eibach drop. There is a really good thread out there that shows the difference with the exact same angles etc... Take a look at that before you decide.

So based on my math and the numbers you provided: 9-10k/yr = 750-833 mi/mo X 16 mos = 12,000-13,333 miles on your tires. That probably wouldn't even be a year's worth of driving for me, lol.

This is how it looks. Not too much to where too low and needs camber kit, but enough to where the turns and ride feels smoother and look better than stock height.

$175 for me. That's from a local guy who did my brake pads and rotors swap. Actual shops might charge $200-$220 depending on how much they charge an hr of labor.

Nice I'm about the same with swift RWD sedan, running about negative 1.8 camber all around and toe all in spec, no unusually tread wear, I have about 20k on my tires and I'm at a 7/32 in the thread according to discount I get my rotation every 6k miles and they said they are in good condition. No camber kit required with these I'm getting mostly all the use on my tires

Whoa-is that just for the springs install? I've been quoted 4-500 for Swift Springs install.
