camber kit is made to help save your tires from wearing down too much on one side...i only have rear camber kit...

if you lower your car the rear will most likely camber out and eventually eat up your tires. I am moderately lowered and i use the rear camber, i didnt need the front. But most camber kits come with front and rear

You obviously have done no research about your suspension????? Skunk2 is the worst coilover you could put on an EP3! They completly screwed up on it big time... They inverted the spring rate which would make the front stiffer then the rear which will make our car handle like complete CRAP!!!!!!! Our car needs to have a STIFFER rear end then front and it has to by a decent amount...

Why do you think they got the name JUNK2 on EPHATCH?

Don't be like Skunk2 do some R&D ok well maybe not D but do some RRRRRRRRRRRRRR research!!!!

People really don't want to answer every question you ask. So use the search button.

Yes the ground controls are much better in every way! GC and Koni Yellows and now we are talking!

yes you do need a camber kit for the front and rear and its a good idea to head stright to someplace to get an alignment asap to make sure the car will drive stright its very very simple to install also

Im not 100% but i don't think you really need a front camber kit on an ep3 because of the suspension design. Can anyone back this up?

i know on my hatch when i bought it...it had the tien springs and was roughly 2.5 inches off the ground...and i had to install both front and rear because the alignment was out hella bad...but i just ordered oem springs because im tired of ripping of my exhaust pipe because of speed bumps and pot holes im going to bag it once i can find a good kit that will sit it on the ground similiar to a street scraper kit but for my car and not a truck....

I wouold recommend the front camber kit as well. Just because it looks like you don't have a lot of camber doesn't mean it's not there. Before I got mine, My front tires were way more worn out than my rears. This is due to turning and from the extra friction against the pavement from being front wheel drive. I think it would be smart to just get both and get an alignment if you're really worried about it.
