So i finally got the H&R springs on and everyone was right...Give it a few weeks to settle before getting an alignment.
I just got an alignment and had the springs on for almost a month.
It sits perfect. Bets mod!
No rubbing with the 295/40 and 21x10.5 wheels. Lock to lock nor speed bumps.
Alignment is not that far off and it doesn't look "off" at all.

Very nice drop. Its much more visible on this color. I was thinking the alignment will be much worse. But I can see it being a problem over long run specially those who put on a lot of miles.
 
You will def see inner tire wear regardless. Mine were noticeably wearing around 8k mikes
 
This was done with the latest Hunter equipment. My rear camber is already having issues, and this is on stock suspension. So as Rip said, its only gonna get worse with springs and/or coilovers. 8k miles is not a a whole lot given I do about twice that per year. And the rear on my FX feels pretty bouncy specially on potholes, etc. Not sure if thats the reason. Gotta figure that out first. I'm probably gonna hold off on the H&R springs/coilover and follow the camber kit development on the other thread (wishful thinking for now).

Thats not bad. We could all seriously benefit from a camber kit if we wanted to go 2" or more.
 
I would still be in for the camber kit. I know it will start wearing the inner tread more. The drop in the front was much more noticeable and needed. It actually sat higher in the front stock. Now it's level. And no rub!
