Eibach Pro-kit question - CTR

[armenls1]

Hey folks, just a quick question. I'm thinking about picking up the Eibach pro-kit for '18 CTR. I'm running stock wheels/tires. I would prefer not to install camber arms, etc... I've seen some threads about people adding spacers for stock wheels. Is this a requirement or is it just to change the look/aesthetics of the car? Thanks!

Spacers used with stock wheels are just to change the look so they don't look "sunken in", and you definitely do not need a rear camber kit for that setup, unless you want to correct the increase in rear camber from lowering your car

Thanks man! How close can an alignment get the rear wheels to stock camber numbers? Are we talking just a small amount or tire destroying levels?

The Pro-Kit is just a mild drop so it is just a small amount of camber, not tire destroying levels lol

Makes sense. I've been searching the site trying to find some alignment numbers on the camber for front and back. Couldn't see anything detailed with the pro-kit on the CTR.

You will be able to find stock suspension specs in terms of camber, toe, etc

Was able to find stock for sure...

Type-R: Front: -1 ° 20 '±30 ' Rear: -1 ° 30 '±45 '
(Maximum difference between the right and left side: O 0 45 ')

Mostly looking for after numbers with pro-kit on CTR.

Beautiful. How was the alignment after the install? Camber numbers? Thanks!

Numbers are from a Quick-Trick set.
Front toe was slightly toe out, 3mm
Front camber was at -3.3 with the pins pulled, against inside of slots
Rear toe was out by 4mm
Rear camber was 3.4

if thats pro line with stock wheels wonder what the sport lines look like.

Had the sportlines on my 17 hatch looked great but it only had 18's
would like to add springs to my CTR at some pint

I did not notice much of a difference, my Wife never mentioned or asked about it at all - she did notice the rear engine mount inserts at idle.....
