I think "as is," you are going to wear the heck out of your front and rear tires. You should be concerned about the camber adjustment, because camber out of spec will wear the edge of a tire down to cords before you know it! You'll probably have to cut the bolts and replace the bolts and the bushings...or the control arm assembly...depending on which way you prefer. For the back, you'll likely have to go with eccentric bushings to get it into spec. It's your choice: pay for it now and get it right and save your tires in the process, or, let it go and spend money in replacing tires prematurely.

What is your current rear camber?
also the springs will likely still settle i would wait until then I to check alignment :)

Looks great BTW!!!!! :D

I Agree with smj not just tire being worn out faster I have experienced steering being more unpredictable more left to right veering.

Front camber bolts are easy to get and not that expensive. The rear aftermarket uca are more expensive

Alignment is the worst to get perfect once you lift the rear.
