I'd at least get the rear set, you can always install the front at a later date.
Keep in mind how much it costs to replace a set of tires twice as often, the cost then becomes pretty affordable IMO.

I hate paying for tires. I hate it so much. In fact, I am sticking with my OEM 17's until those tires are used up...and considering replacing just the tires. 17" tires are close to HALF the cost of 19" tires.

If I were to score an awesome Craigslist find with tires included around the time I need new tires, I may consider upgrading to 18" or 19".

If you want your tires to last longer than maybe yes. I do have SPC camber kit and it's working great for me but I'm on air ride so if you want to buy my camber kit I can pull it off the car

Being on Springs your not going to have any issues... I had Tein before I went to Stance Coilovers... the only thing as I mentioned in another post here is to shave the rear bumper bracket or you'll rub the tire as you go over speed bumps or driveways etc...

Nothing to be scared of...Just note your driving habits will change as you'll notice pot holes and such... as for scraping that's minor.. I was Low and most have seen my Coupe...I was almost on the ground and it was my DD...never had an issue with my exhaust or messing up my front bumper or even scraping my tips on my exhaust...

So pop on those Springs...Post up some pics and Enjoy the ride...

Just remember after about 300 miles or so to get it aligned after the springs settle...

Jas On both my Tein springs and Stance coilovers all I ended up using is a Toe kit... I tried the camber kit and it actually pulled out my wheels worse..Diego from vossen ran them a bit if I recall correctly then ended up pulling his out too... the toe bolt is all I ever used and camber was just about -3 more like -2.8 LOL butover all flipping the tire every 3-4k tires wore ok not great but ok... just watch your tire pressure.

My Apologies on not taking any photos when I had it on Tein...But take the Time to go buy the Toe bolts...The shop here in Glendale had a set and while it was being aligned it needed them... as for rears no worries...

let me know if you need help on anything....I'm glad to be back though I have a Q50s now

TEIN IS THE WAY TO GO MY GOOD MAN, ive had mine on for awhile now and i love the way it made the car drive bro, i could tell the instant i drove it when the springs were put on, much more stiffer taking turns the 'body roll' you get taking fast turns is like gone now it seriously feels like a race car now lol but all jokes aside i love the way it sits, looks, drives, everything about it now, you can see a little bit of it in my one picture haha but teins is the way to go man not too low and not too high, just right ! but i would trust all these guys on here they know exactly what theyre talking about, camber kits is the right way to do it, why cheat yourself i mean it is your biggest investment, your car.
