Eibach Pro Kit Question

Is it necessary to get a camber kit with these springs? It states that it only lowers the car 1" which in not too drastic. Also I am doing the install myself. How long do you think it will take me, and did anyone run into any problems with the install?

camber kit some people say its not necessary but i think it is.

Read this post for possible problem you might run into

I ran into the same problem as this guy. I got passed it 1 way and i think some other people used a different way.

other than that it was pretty simple. I would suggest a helping hand to line up some of the bolt holes

Honestly, I would recommend it. I personally think it'd pay off in the long run and the trade off isn't worth it.

I have the pro kit no rear camber though drives fine. I have a honda tech that installed them, has built many cars and he said it was fine. Eventually I ll get one anyway but for the time bein its fine.
