My past lowering was 1.8" Neuspeed Sports, 3" drop Skunkworks coilovers, 1" drop Eibach springs, and now 2" drop with Ground Control coilovers.

All my setups (excluding the Skunkworks - since I didn't have the car very long) all had great tire wear. The key is proper toe. I run 0 degrees toe front and rear (which gets the car to rotate better anyway), and keeping an eye on the tread.

This year with my 2" drop I've done 2 track days, 12 autocrosses, 40 laps at Carlisle Custom Compact Jam, and 5000 miles and I have lots of tread left on my soft soft Falken Azenis. Whom people say that the tires wear down so fast!
