Does anyone have any experience with running the skunk2 adjustable coilovers? and if I adjust them all the way down will I have to run aftermarket LCAs and a camber kit etc? or would I be safe with just a new alignment.

If its slammed without ajusting camber will the tires wear down and tear up quicker?

no they won't wear out quicker. especially if you don't do burn outs.

Camber doesn't wear your tyres out, toe does.

still a suspension question, but a little bit different, I finally decided to get just the skunk2 lowering springs, but im not sure on what struts I should use because its my understanding that KYB GR2s still dont like being on lowered springs and I cant really afford the AGXs.

I had KYB GR2 on my CB7 and never had a problem using them with cheap coilovers...I heard Dropzone shocks are the ones that suck for lowering...!!!

will stock struts work at all with skunk2 lowering springs or should I just spend the extra cash on the KYBs?

How low are those springs?

Anything that lowers our cars more than about an inch really needs better shocks. Especially if your shocks have any decent amount of mileage on them. Don't be cheap; do it right.
