You'll be fine. Majority of the Pro-kits were made to go with stock shocks. You'll still maintain a stock ride. Had them on my 02' TL and I loved it. But like AccordManiac said, it'll be much better with aftermarket shocks.

don't worry about camber. Get an alignment afterwards to sort out any toe change and call it a day. They "should" be fine with stock shocks, although I blew a stock shock a little while after installing my pro-kits. It may have been a bad shock, and it had around 70k miles on it.... your results may vary .

About a hundred years ago...

The rear struts on my EK hatch lasted 8 months with Pro-kits (i'm guessing it was speed bumps that killed them). So I ebay'd the springs and bought GC's like I should have done in the first place.

well, considering Eibach only drops your car a little over an inch i don't see where you'll run into any camber issues.

Just remember, the lower you take your car the shorter your struts life will be.
