Anyone has EIBACH PROKIT without Camber kit?

Hi I am getting my prokit installed next week. I understand that the camber should not be that much out of wreck compared to the sportsline so a camber kit is not necessary for the prokit. However, my question is HAS ANYONE INSTALLED THE PROKIT AND HAD AN ALIGNMENT DONE? IF SO, WAS THE CAMBER STILL IN SPEC or WAS IT A LITTLE BIT OFF?

Thx all in advance

it was not off in front, the rear was a slite tow in nothing major. But i did put it on the rear just to be safe. But you will be okay for a while i did not put it on the rear right away i waited a few months.

I have the Comptechs which are the same as the Pro Kit & I'm running without a rear camber kit. The rear camber is sitting @ -2.0 & stock is -1.0. Here's a pic so you can see for yourself. I have the Mugen Sport Suspension on the way so we'll see what that brings.

That's a nice ride! Thx for the info... Do you have a side pic of your ride? Also for the mugen sports suspension... is that just the struts or it come with springs? How much did you pay for those?

Thanks. I need to give my car a nice wash before I snap new pics but it won't be until I get the Mugen Suspension installed. The Mugen Sport Suspension is a full replacement like the HFP is a full replacement of the OEM suspension. Let's just say it was to good to pass up.

I had the Prokit springs on my 06 Si before I traded it in. They were recommended and installed by my Honda dealer. The car was aligned a few weeks after the springs were installed and everything was still within OEM specs. I was told that any lower and the camber would be out of spec and a camber kit would be needed. The car rode and drove great during the 10,000 k's that I had them on for. Not too low for the winter either and I plan on getting a set for my 07 Si before the summer.

Thanks for the useful info. This is my first time installing prokit, I have installed sportsline on all my previous rides and always have camber kit installed... I want to install the Prokit this time since I don;t want it too low and avoid the need for camber kit.. So it's good to know that the the alignment is still within specs. Thx again!
