Got 200+ miles on the Eibach Pro kit, it definitely require usage to settle these springs, but I also noticed my rear-right is not dropping as much as others, wonder what could be the cause?
My rear camber is quite extreme on the negative side " // \\". I have an appointment for alignment service this Saturday, hopefully that will minimize the negative camber.

not likely .... you need adjustable rear camber kit from Kinetix or someone else ... brings that nice $180 drop up to at least $500 plus install and alignment ... thats why I sold mine

Alignment helped with extreme negative camber
Got my alignment done this past weekend, my rear alignment result:
Rear Left:
Before alignment = -2.8 for camber, 0.21 for toe
After alignment = -1.9 for camber, 0.02 for toe
Rear Right:
Before alignment = -2.9 for camber, 0.27 for toe
After alignment = -2.0 for camber, 0.01 for toe
** Front camber not adjustable **
Negative camber is now minor compare to before alignment, which was too much.

Mine took a good 6 months to fully settle. As far as tire ware, I'm at 30K (springs went on at 19K) Will be getting new tires in the next 10K. Very loud at this point but tread ware in minimal. Just feathering.
