Are There Alignment Problems With Shorter Springs?

I was thinking of getting the CompTech springs for my S, but I'm starting to hear about alignment problems that occur more often than with the standard springs. Have any of you guys that put CompTech's springs on have that problem?

It was pretty minor, but the inside edges of my rear tires did wear faster than they should have due to camber from the Comptech springs.

Well

Is this a problem that can be fixed with a four wheel alignment or is it another "live-with-it" and shut-up kind of deal?
Maybe just getting the CT anti-sway bars will be enough.

I have Eibachs pro-kit and my alignment is within spec. If there is irregular tire, I dont notice, but I do rotate about every 7500 mi.

An alignment may be all that is needed, if not within specs, a camber kit may be required.. YMMV
