H&R Sport Lowering Springs

Alright guys, I've done my fair share of research on the forum here about lowering my G37s. I've decided that I want to go with the H&R over the Eibach because I'd like a little more drop.
My main question is how much quicker would my tires wear without a kit. Or does anyone know if I can just get away with getting a only front camber kit? I don't drive the car harshly at all, it's babied to school, work and the gym daily.
I would go with SPC/Eibach kit since they're apparently the same thing if I did have to. If anyone is really knowledgable, do you know the exact degree after an H&R drop without the kit because I read that OEM spec is -.83 to -1.83 in the rear and .33 to -1.17 for the fronts. BTW I'm a noob when it comes to all this if you couldn't tell already, so be gentle

H&R is the deepest drop spring for your G, followed by Tein S Techs. You won't get reasonable tread wear without a full F&R camber kit (and rear toe bolts). You'll also have to be much more careful w/ your daily drives, check this thread w/ my reply (#4), this damage occurred when I was on B&G springs which are about the same as H&Rs in front. https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-cou...ing-issue.html If you want a better alternative, look in to Tein Basis Z coilovers, you can get just the height you want and run a setup that isn't compromised vs. a lowering spring that's on a damper that isn't engineered for them. The Teins only cost a couple hundred more than lowering springs, and if you keep them on the milder side you "might" be able to get by w/ just a rear camber/toe kit.

I have the most mild drop out of all the springs (swift springs) and my rear is -2.7 and -2.1 and my fronts are both -2.1. I'll be buying kits for the front but I'm just using camber toe bolts for the rear.
Btw I have a 2010 xs sedan

Thanks for your input blnewt. I'm gonna stick to springs because I'm a broke college student lmfao. As for the damage, I'm not too worried about it. I live in Fort Myers, FL near FGCU and Fenway South(GROSS) so the roads are pretty well maintained. I'm just gonna buy both camber kits to avoid premature wear. Might as well do it right the first time.

Thanks Mattyem, then I definitely need camber kits since blnewt has stated that the H&R are the second deepest drop.

No, the H&Rs are the deepest drop, I'd strongly consider Tein S Tech lowering springs, they are deeper than Eibachs but not as slammed as H&Rs, think you'd be happier with them. And FWIW all that exhaust damage was done on speed bumps, speed humps and steep drives. Our roads suck but it wasn't the roads that did that
