With coilovers the idea is to use adjustable strut tops to lean the top of the coilover in so you can get suitable negative camber with less negative adjustment at the bottom of the strut....effectively you are moving the top of the tyre away from the strut.
Real good info to keep in mind if I go the coil path. I wont cheap out either. Whats your take on springs on stock struts for the time being. Eg. Eibach or Racecomps springs just for the lower look. Also read that aftermarket springs springs on stock struts will shorten the life and wear out the strut faster?
