suspension question about Neuspeed

The time has come, well probably past due, for new springs and struts. My Cl 3.0 has 144k on it and has the original struts. I replaced the OE springs with Neuspeed ,1.75F/1.5R, when the car had about 3K on it. I drove about 8k more without getting the camber corrected. It ate up my P zeros pretty bad. I was told to go to this suspension guy in SoCal and he did the adjustment. At the time he said he could bend the suspension or put in a camber kit. I figured I would not have the car long but as you can see I still do. I am thinking about going with the same drop/springs so it does not throw off the camber. To me that makes the most sense. If I go with something like the Eibachs I will have to worry about some camber differences but with the same springs I should be Ok right? I'm looking at KBY adj. struts to replace my old ones. I know I should have gone after market on those to when I dropped the car but I didn't have the money back in 98. To save money I even put the springs in myself. Do you have any suggestions? I'm running Racing Hart C2 three-piece 17X7.5 with 40+ 225/45/17s. The rims are changing to Volk AV3s 17X7 44+. Rubbing is not an issue. My biggest issue is ride quality and camber changes.

Thanks

so he bent your control arms? to correct the suspension? or did you end up getting the camber kit.

well get another set of neuspeed sports. and if you get some koni yellows you should be straight... except they might drop you an additional .5 of an inch. the kyb agx are nice if you got a prokit or something like that... if you have sport/ sportline springs go with the koni yellows... it kinda keeps it in the family too now that I think about it.. neuspeed springs and neuspeed/koni struts.

Yes he bent the control arms as far as I can recall. I lived in VA when I dropped it and then drove to SoCal. My Pirelli PZeros ate it pretty well. Repo1234 thanks for the offer but I had already ordered the shocks when you gave me the offer. I heard the Konis are nice but I figure I'll have the car for about two more years and she might be gone. I have to get at least 200K out of her.

Thanks for the help guys.
