wonder if anyone with these springs noticed if the inside edge of the front tires got worn excessively......they did in my car it might have been the tires were unbalanced

let me guess, you put the springs in and didn't get an alignment done? anytime you raise/lower a vehicle, it changes the alignment. in your case, lowewring the car made the camber and toe more negative. meaning negative camber = tires leaning inward from the top more when viewed from the top. negative toe = tires point outwards when viewing from the front. all this causes the tires to wear from inside to outside.

Ditto, check your Camber.

I also lowered mine with the same springs and yes you have to get an alignment.

get an alignment and make sure you get a printout of the given specs.
Go with the GM except for the camber... try getting a bit of negative camber instead of positive camber... will make for better wear/grip.
GM did that to induce understeer on the cars, and it makes the outside edge of the tires go bald.

yea, I have the eibach sportline 2'' lowering kit with bilstein shox. Everything was done in a garage except the alignment. You must have your wheels alingned when ever you mess with that. I must say that the eibach bilstein combo is great, im loving the handling of my car. Only downsides are clearance issues bumpy ride.
