Suspension Questions?
Getting Eibach Springs and Bilstein Shocks installed next week, I heard even if an alignment is done there will still be uneven tire wear because some components are not adjustable. True? What can be done?

Camber increases slightly
The front camber is not adjustable (it can be balanced side-side). When the suspension is lowered (or the springs are compressed under load) the negative camber increases.
It isnt much though. When mine was lowered about 3/4" from sport height with Euurosports the camber went to about 1.3 degrees. The spec at the sport height is something like 1 degree. I had my 225 Z rated tires on the car from that time in July to December, putting about 8000 miles on them and there is no sign of excess inside edge tread wear.
