Eibach Pro Kit. Need Camber Kit?

Hi-ReV · 02-28-2008, 10:15 PM

well i have both parts ready to be installed. i'm just wondering if i really do need the camber kit. i read through some threads with people that have pro kits without the camber kit because they said its not needed. no tire wear. is this true?

Your really killing my Highrev NAME

ALignment sticky at the top of the page...OR JUST IM or PM ME!!! Sorry I took a minute for this last question...

Since the same question is reposted about 5 times a day I thought I would repost my own information. Its a repost lets see how long it stays

WHEN TO USE CAMBER KITS?/DO I NEED A CAMBER KIT? YES!!!!

The real answer is its up to you. Do you want to handle better, reduce tire wear or have real control over your suspension?

ALIGNMENTS!!

IN ORDER TO CHANGE CAMBER YOU WILL NEED A FRONT AND REAR CAMBER KIT!!!!!

Well you guys spend alot of money on your suspension parts right. Then you go right back to the OEM alignment which uh sucks. That alignment is not for performance. It is strickly to make tires last and make sure your car understeers. Both of those things don't make a car turn well. You will need a set or 2 of front camber bolts, and a rear camber kit to adjust camber.

I had an Eibach Pro Kit on my wife's '07 SI. It looked great. I would definitely look into getting a camber kit. The front wont be too bad but the rear will really lean in. Also plan on a much stiffer ride(with any lowering spring). I actually ended up taking them back off because I was afraid my wife was going to hit a bump too hard and tear something up.

You're crazy if you don't get an alignment. I waited a week and a half and could already see tire wear. I had tow like a b#$ch!

I had the HFP on my FG2, which is roughly same drop (1") as the pro-kit and they said it was within factory specs.

If you want to handle well, and have even tire wear a camber kit is necessary whether you are lowered or not. I got my spc kit months before I bolted on the HFP parts.

If its just for camber correction then no U probably dont NEED them...

mwinters601 · 02-29-2008, 09:34 AM

I have a 4 door with the pro kit. I also installed front and rear camber kits. Alignment cannot be right without them. The car handles much better with a proper alignment and you will not be disappointed.
