Default Do you need a Camber kit when replacing springs?

I was wondering if you need a camber kit when replacing the springs with Eibach Pro Kit? Thanks for the Help!

nope the pro kit is only a 1.3 inch drop, it will affect your camber only minorly, not enough to spend a couple hundred dollars to get a camber kit. Just get an alignment and make sure your toe is set to factory specs then you'll be good to go.

Anytime you lower your car a camber kit is a good idea. If not you will be going through tires a lot faster.

I have Tein High Tech Springs on stock shocks and I have no problems so far.

The Tech who did the alignment got everything to come into spec on the alignment machine.

He did have to shim one of the back wheels but once he was done everything came up green.

So far I have not noticed any unusual tire wear and I have had the springs for a couple months

Generally it's about a degree for every inch you drop. I've been running Pro-Kits for 100K with no problems, though it's toe alignment that's usually the issue.
