Fixing front tire wear and getting new wheels
Ok I read through many many pages on this forum and I'm still not 100% sure on how to go about this. I really want to get new wheels, (and eventually springs, etc), but as the car sits right now (stock), it has some pretty bad tire wear on the inside of the front two tires, the back seem fine. It is my understanding that this is due to excessive toe setting, which can't be adjusted on the stock car. I don't wanna get new wheels/tires and have them shredded up because of this problem. The SPC camber/caster/toe kits should allow a shop to align everything properly, correct? Since the rear wheels are fine, can I get away with just the front kit for now, or will that effect the rears? I can't buy them all right now, so I'll wait if I have to, but I really wanna ditch these crappy stock rims.
Should I wait and buy wheels and the front and rear kits and then have it all installed/aligned at once? Or can I get just the fronts to fix the front wear problem?

Set static camber to no more than negative 0.7 degrees to minimize camber wear.
Still with G's high caster, the camber gain in turning will increase significantly so all you can do is flip and rotate to equalize the inner vs outer tread loads.
