Don't think camber is adjustable on the fezza, if it is one of the swivel hub mounting bolt to shock holes will be elongated (not just round like normal) more likely to be the tracking, when i put the eibach springs on my titanium it knocked the tracking out by quite a bit (about 7 degrees i think), well worth getting it checked

When lowering you always need to get your wheels realigned and that

Tyres make a huge difference too, had federal ss595's fitted on the rear for all of 500 miles till the arse went round at 20 mph on a damp roundabout with an artic alongside me, got Michelin pilot sport 3's all round now & they're absolutely awesome tyres, even in all the standing water we've had lately, grip like a bastard ;0)

Definately, they're not cheap (paid £400 all in for 4 195/45 16's) but they're by far the best tyre i've ever had, got a similar grip level of a yokohama with the durability of a touring tyre
