When I put the Spec-V wheels on Sunday, they were pretty heavy on the negative camber (leaning inward) on the rear tires. Anyone showing signs of heavy wear on the rear tires because of lowering springs and bigger wheels? I don't want to wear out a new set of tires too fast unless I'm doing it the fun way.

lol. normal for lowered cars. You can set the toe a little different when you align it to make it wear evenly... but the tire will still wear just as fast, just more evenly. lol.

Agreed... there is the alignment ring for the rear. Good info from AZhitman, read his thread.

I apparently can't find this one unless it's the one where he adds the lowering springs and mentions to get the alignment done.
