CBP AWD Lowered
I went with the H&R Springs. I bought the parts and had them installed from Excelerate Performance. http://excelerateperformance.com/ They did an amazing job, can't recommend them enough.
Just a few for now...

There will be a special shoot when those come in....
I'm not worried about the shocks, they are brand new and pretty diesel. Nope, not at all. I've been in many different cars from small imports, to Acura, to Lexus, to BMW to exotics with suspensions of all kinds. This rides VERY close to stock in terms of comfort. Potholes and such make a bit of a louder suspension noise than usual, but the comfort level is still there. Some larger dips and holes, you will know you have aftermarket springs because you feel it a little more, but nothing like the kidney busters I've had with track setup coilovers. And if you thought taking turns with the AWD was fun, just wait until the car is lower. It just eats up turns.

Nice, I just ordered the same springs from speedshop and can't wait to install them! Should be in by the 8th. Too bad they won't be in before Labor day so I could slap them on. You had to tease me like that. At least I now know that it's going to look sick! Thanks

ADVANCE.
Man, I keep looking at your car. hahaha... Again, your shit is tight! Are there any other makers for springs besides H&R right now for the 4g? I know it's still all new, just wondering. Alright bro I'll just go back to looking at your car. hahaha.
PEACE!
PEACE!

After 100 miles of mainly highway driving, I went in for an alignment using the latest Hunter machine.
The front was out of spec by a bit, and they got it within factory spec.
The alignment guy said my rear camber was out only a little bit and there is no way to adjust it. So basically the tires tuck inside a tiny bit, he said it's off by so little he doubts if I will ever notice any uneven tire wear. I've read a lot that negative camber really doesn't harm tire wear as bad as people think.
I have the print out, but I don't know what the numbers mean. I can scan it in if people want to see it.

^ if im not mistaken, OEM spec on my 3G TL called for some negative rear camber.... i wonder where you can find the information on the 4G, if the specs call for some negative camber
Even when i bought my 4G, i was looking, and im pretty sure i noticed a tiny bit of negative camber

I am a bullet proof tiger
I had an alignment after my eibach drop, front was almost in spec, rear out by about 2.3. I decided against the eibach camber kit as it would push the tires back out and cause more rubbing with my offset. Had another alignment last week with my teins. Camber results were similair to eibach. Had the toe set to zero since toe kills tires faster.

I've got the factory service manual... here is what it says
Front Camber: -0.30
Rear Camber: -1.00
Front Caster: 3.48
Total Toe-in Front: 0mm
Total Toe-in Rear: 2mm
Looking at the printout again, my toe was out on all 4 corners, but they got all 4 within spec range. Camber on the fronts were already within spec. Camber on the rear left was -2.3 and rear right -1.8. The range for rears is -1.8 to -0.5. So only 1 corner was slightly out of spec.
