Hey,
I was planning on buying the Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs, and I wasn't sure if after I installed them if I would need an alignment or a camber kit? This is my first time lowering a car so I'm not really sure what I'd need.

You don't need camber kit, but an alignment is always recommended after you install lowering springs. Install springs, drive around for a couple hundred miles or so for the springs to settle, then alignment.

We always recommend our customers to get an alignment right after they install the springs, and another alignment a couple of weeks after the install, so the springs have settled to their proper height. However, if budget is an issue, I would recommend you only go for the second alignment after the springs have been settled. :)

USUALLY yes, cause you will definately change your stock suspension geometry. So, may be camber adjustment will not be necessary, but alignment is a must.

You will 100% need an alignment. The results of the alignment will also tell you if any further camber adjustability is needed.
