Sportline Alignment

[RHDZach]

Hey guys, so far i have a couple basic bolt ons on my '15 GT Premium with the PP. I want to lower the car, and i'm considering the Eibach Sportline springs. The car isn't a daily driver, so i'd like the extra drop over the pro-kit. I've tried to do some research on here regarding the alignment. I've read that the sportline kit will only effect the camber by -.04 which isn't terrible, and it does not require camber plates. I saw a post from a member on here that said his camber was about -2.5* after installing his springs. I don't want to sacrifice my tire's life span just to have the car a little lower.
So basically my question is, for anyone that is running sportline springs, how close were you to reaching factory alignment specs? If you were far from factory spec and made any additional modifications to improve this, what did you do?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Is been around 3000 miles since I installed my springs. I have not gotten alignment yet because I am waiting for some struts and shocks to come out. Even without alignment my car drives pretty damn good.
