If you got the money... the Hotchkis arms are the way to go.

I have an EP3 and when I had my Spoon Progressive Springs on, the front camber was adjustable and was able to be set back to stock specs but the rear camber was not adjustable and was off by -2.5 degrees after the install and full alignment. This drop was roughly about 1.5 inches,the same as the Sportlines. So you should only need the rear. A alignment however,will verify what needs adjustment. I heard somewhere that SPC makes the rear camber kit for Eibach. So whether you get the SPC or Eibach,I believe they are essentially the same. They visually look the same also. Either of those two will work or you can go JDM and get a nice set from Vision.

Also you might want to look at upgrading your shocks to aftermarket ones if you are still using the stock ones. The car will handle better with aftermarket shocks combined with your springs. The stock shocks are not really meant to be used with lowering springs,though some say about a 1 inch drop in the limit for stock shocks on the EP. Depending on the condition of them when you installed the springs, their performance will progressively start to deteriorate.

The stock front strut/rear shock dampers. The Tokico HP's are pretty popular with the EP community and can be had for about $450.
