I purchased my 1G back in October and it has 235/45R17 tires with EVO VIII 6 spoke ENKII wheels. One of the previous owners has installed lowering springs at all four corners. My best guess is that due to the 2"+ drop and whats left of the spring color, these are the ones installed but no guarantees: eibach sportline springs
I was under the car the other day and noticed that all four tires had inside wear down to the secondary rubber. After doing some research I found that to correct this I need a camber kit such as this one: ingalls camber kit
The rear control arms are by far the most expensive part of the kit and there is a cheaper alterative from VFAQ here:VFAQ adjustment bracket
The other option is to fix my camber issues would be to change springs, at the moment there is so little suspension travel that the car bottoms out every time I so much as run over an ant, not good for a 24 year old car that needs plenty of TLC. I think something like this would be best:Tien springs
Being a 24 year old car there are a few other things I that need my immediate attention like an Engine and Trans rebuild, new tires, and an alignment so cost is a big issue.
So the options I have are as follows:
A: Ingall front kit with VFAQ bracket at the rear. Estimated price <$75
C: Tien S-Tech Springs. Estimated price $200

This is the cheapest option and I would like any feed back from any one that has done the VFAQ bracket, If I do this repair I intend to upgrade to ingalls at a later date
B: Full Ingalls kit installation. Estimated price $200C: Tien S-Tech Springs. Estimated price $200
This option provides more suspension travel and a softer spring for a smoother, more comfortable ride [car is daily driven and spends 99+% of its time on the street]
Any feed back on the springs, Ingalls kit or VFAQ bracket would be very appreciated
