Default chamber kit??????

I really have been thinking about switching to the eibach sportlines. I've been told that I don't need a chamber kit, and I've been told that I do. Would any of you guys buy these?????

I wouldn't go anywhere near that "chamber" kit. Mostly because it's camber.

put the sport lines on get an alignment reading done and see if you need a camber kit for yourself.

Yeah your right, I had a funny feeling about that kit anyways. Now that I think about it, we're only talking about a half inch difference between my current pro kit and the sportlines. I'll do that!!!! thanxx!!!

I would trust those springs because they're brand name. Watch out for the Bomz ones, etc.

The springs are good and a friend of mine bought his sportlines from that same company. But as everyone else has said you can probably find them cheaper through a sponser here or just search other sites on the internet.

As for the camber kit, I wouldn't go with that set-up. I have it on my Accord which is a 94 but I have problems with the control arm clearing properly and I have had the same set-up for over five years now. If I were you I would go with the adjustable ball joint type just so you wouldn't have any clearance issues.

I thinked we talked about this before, I've got that basically same drop with Tein S Techs. I can't say how much it adjusted my camber, although I think it did mess with the caster. As far as the overall toe, between alignments it changed a full degree negative over a month, so maybe if you want to be getting alignments every other month, you could maybe invest in one.

Also, I got the Progress Alignment Kit, which was $336. It had a front pivot mounts that don't look like the ones in the picture, and rear strut bars. I suggest you look into that seeing as it would be a cheaper alternative (and something more reliable than the link you posted) for a 4 wheel adjustment.

No, there's a guy/shop that does work for me, only took him an hour of labor (jack the car up, take the wheels off, etc). I called up the shop that does my alignment and they said they can't do it (Tire Kingdom)

That sucks . I hope I can find a custom shop here in the ATL that will do it. I would rather spend the money then have suspention problems, and wearing out hi-cost tires......Some guys are saying that, a drop under 2'' don't need a chamber kit/etc. I think I'm going to do it....

msedacca, what size rim and tire combo your running and/or Diameter from top to bottom of your rim-tire size? Also, whats the drop on your springs? I need to know this from somebody that has done this on a 7th gen. I'm just trying to get some numbers so if I switch to sportline springs, I wont have to worry about the clearance. Is your rim a 7.5? Mine is a 7.5 with a 225/35 which I'm almost sure it will clear, but I'm just not 100% sure. The back will clear, no problem. I just want the car to set down on the wheels with no problems.... No gaps. You know as well as myself, that 7th gens have the most wheel well space of any accord. The picture in my avatar has 225/35 on a 8.5 wheel. I wasn't that brave. I went 7.5, but I don't know the drop on his springs. I have the pro kit on mine and I still have a bit of a gap... Not to much, but more then I would like. That's why I'm looking at the sport lines by eibach.....
