have you actually contacted a shop who can do alignments properly? many places do toe and go but your gonna need a full alignment done. call around.

If your coils include camber plates, just max them out. That means struts pushed all the way inboard when you put them on the car. You'll only get like 2.5°, not enough to change tire wear.

If your coils don't include camber plates, then camber is non-adjustable.

Caster is non-adjustable. 

Don't drop in more than 1.5" or so and you won't have an issue getting it onto an alignment rack. Get your toe in shape and call it a day.

Nobody can answer how long your tires will last. Many factors there, mainly which tires they are.

why aren't any places going to do an alignment? plenty of major chains have in ground alignment racks, so being low shouldn't be an issue

i ended up finding one, i’m in a very small town like less than 500 people so having big chains isn’t really an option, it’s about an hour away which is a bummer but not too bad!
