Camber help!
So i'm really into my car, and i wanna make it the best it can be. My next major purchase is an eibach suspension system. (see first link) but i've been looking at other blogs and have come to the conclusion i need a camber kit, too. (see second link) so i found this one. but do i need one, or two? is it one pair per wheel? and what should i do in regards to installation and alignment figures?

You're going to want to specify the car you are buying a suspension for first..
Im assuming it is a 98 Accord because that is what those products are for. But for good measure, you will want to specific just incase.
But in general, you dont need the whole system to make your car handle better. If you have the time and money great, but if you dont.. You can narrow down your suspension upgrades to maybe a good set of adjustable coilovers, a nice set of tires, and a good alignment.. and start from there..
Camber kits are not needed on all cars. This thread here explains why a car with negative camber doesnt really NEED to have a camber kit to reduce tire wear, just a good alignment.

If you do get camber kits. There is a set for the rear and there is a different set for the front. They are almost always sold as a pair (front pair, rear pair). One arm per wheel...
Hope this helps..

Thanks so much! and yes, it is a 98 Accord.
I found that a good set of coilovers is the same price if not more than that whole package.
however, i do have a really good set tires on the car.
but thank you for the help. it's greatly appreciated.

I honeslty dont have experience with that Eibach setup. But Eibach is a reputable manufacturer of good parts, some may disagree like with anything. But if that is the direction you want to go then do it. There is no doubt that the springs,shocks, bushings, and sway bars in that package will increase the handling of your Accord drastically. The only aspect of that system that i dont like is there is no dampening adjustability and ride height adjustment.. but hard core track people would say those two things should already be preset (spring rates, geometry, etc) for optimal performance... but i drive my car everyday and i like the comfort of being able to adjust those aspects of my setup.. up to you!!
i don't do the track scene as of yet. solely because i'm a college student living on very little money. so i can't do all i want. but yes, that is what i want to do. it rides kinda rough with the stock suspension, and i quite dislike the feeling of potholes on a highway.
In that case, I would definitely go with some coilovers that have adjustable dampening for starters.. you can soften it up for those pot holes and stiffen it for the track if you happen to go
