You're cool with the rear how it is. I bought an Ingalls rear kit but honestly i think it was a waste of $$. As for a front kit, I would suggest getting one. I just had my car aligned after I installed my rear kit, (I am only dropped 1.75") and my mechanic said my front is -1.5 degrees. To avoid uneven wear you should be no more than -.5 degrees.

Ahehe, with sportlines and 17s, I suggest u get a front camber kit James. Cuz when I had the sportlines b4 with just the RRE front camber kit (which is designed for prokits), I had uneven wear on my tires. I was off a lil, by -0.3 I think. I had -1.2, stock I think is -0.9. Not sure. Wear's not that bad tho, just uneven compared to the rest of the tire. Or if ur really tight on money, just rotate them really frequently, like every 3K miles or so.

Installation, total was 160. U sure u want this tho? Why not save up for an actual camber kit that corrects exactly for sportlines? Cuz it will still end up kinda off by -0.3 if I remember correctly. So in effect, my insides still wore off faster than the outside, but not that bad. I've had my tires (Kumho Ecstas) for a year with the sportlines (changed to prokits) and I still have tread on the inside, although a lil bit more worn out. Your call.
Edit: O wait, I figured with 17s, it might actually work. Cuz mines are 18's which are wider, I think. So prolly with urs, the correction would be enough. Better yet, why not have it aligned already and see how far off you are? Go to discount tire tho, since they have those lifetime alignments. Really helps if ur lowered. There's one in El Monte. Hope that helps.
