I'm just about through my second set of tires due to uneven tire wear and debating on putting the car back on the stock springs to get it ready for winter... buying the control arms this winter then have them re installed next summer...

Any thoughts? suggestions, or general crabbiness?

Thanks in advance
Sportlines is generally too low of a drop for stock cambers arms to deal with. BUT sometimes, the stock ones are miraculously able to deal with them. Don't ask me how.
It's not 100% the camber's fault for your tire wear, it's mostly the toe's fault.
Don't put the stock springs back in, because you'll need an alignment after that too.

Here are your options (assuming you will be buying tires)
1) Tires + Alignment + Hope for the best = Not my recommendation
2) Tires + Stock height + Alignment + Drop + Alignment = Definitely not my recommendation
3) Tires + Camber arms + Alignment = My recommendation

Consider it a learning experience, I did the same thing.
