Yes you need it. I have proof and reciepts. Keep the camber kit!! I lower mine the same with tokico blues and neuspeed sports(1.5"). I need front tires every 3- 5 months. I di get the alignment right after to.

for the fronts, id get them just to be safe, the rear doesnt really need it. and if you wanna get them, just get the little shim kit things.. you could really just use bolts and washers for it.

hmm... see im getting very mixed answers.. some say yes, some say no..

i hear that since it is only lowered 1.5 F / 1 R i dont need them.. all i need is to get an alignment and have my TOE set to ZERO.

Trust me on this. This has caused me to many headaches and tires just keep it. I hate to see someone else have to go through this crap.

From my experience, lowered 1.8 inches on my DA, you will not need a camber kit. I just got an alignment after the springs were put in, and have put on about 5K miles on them so far.

u dont need camber kits with eibach prokits. ive been runnin prokits with koni yellows for about three years now and with regular tire rotations (once every 7500 miles) i have absolutely no uneven tire wear. all u need is a proper alignement and regular tire rotations and ur set. make sure that ur toe is aligned - that may contribute more to tire wear than camber.

ok from expierience i can telll u. i had that same eibach on my last integra for about 2 years i had brand new tires wen i did the suspension. wen i sold the car in the spring (2years later) there was VERY little camber wear the outsides had about 55% left and the insides had 50% left its unoticable to the naked eye. trust me your fine theres very little camber wear. the only thing i didnt like about it was the drop is way to high it looked very simalar to stock. im so much happier now with my 2.5" nuespeed drop with ingalls camber kit.

Hell i had eibach sportlines on my EG and just got an alignment after i was finished, and never got bad wear.

Sportlines are more of a drop than the pro-kit
