camber and "slam" is 2 different things, the "slam" part is the height it's lowered at, and camber is with the wheel, with the s-techs you'll have rear camber i believe but the fronts can be adjusted, just go get an alignment, and also there's a lot of topics on here about tein s-techs and camber..

you might get front rub if the shocks start wearing down, but your car will look dumped.. if you want you can get rear camber links to adjust the negative camber but it's not neccesary.

the rear tires will get minimal inner wear but nothing drastic, if you want it even more dumped in the rear take out the bump stops in the rear

align the car after a month to give them time to settle because once you put the springs on it will still be abit higher than what it will be in a month or so. yes get front and rear camber kits so you can save your tires or else with time they will wear out from the inner side.

the front are just bolts and those are cheap but the rear is the whole camber link which can run about $250 from hotchkis and from Progress Auto you can buy both the front and rear for $210. here is the link to that product. http://www.fastscions.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=302

yes you can adjust it abit but not too much depending on how much the camber is. s-techs you can adjust it abit better than what it will be like in a month, but you will barely have some negative camber which won't be bad as to where the inner will waste quicker.

seriously wait 1 more because the aligment after you put the springs on is a waste because it's not gonna really do much at all. wait a month and then go back before your 6 months to get it done again.
