So I ordered Eibach Sportline lowering springs for my FK7 before doing my complete research. My thought process was since there were both the same price I might as well get the "highest level" I did not know about Camber. Once I had done more research it was too late to cancel my order. So, from current owners, previous owners, those experienced, or whoever has an idea, I need to know:

Should I order a Camber kit to stay within spec?
  • I am looking into getting the Truhart Camber kit just because of how cheap it is?
  • If I do get them, should I get the toe arms as well, what do those do, precisely?

Should I order Pro line springs instead?
  • Eibach currently has a 15% off sale, should I get prolines at a discount, I know these can be run without camber?
  • Would it still be better to have a rear camber kit even with prolines from a handling standpoint?
  • Specifically for anyone that has run Prolines without camber for an extended period, how have they held up over time?

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but just now seeing eibachs sale, I sprung into action...

Anyways, thanks in advance to whoever for whatever you can and are willing to share. I've had a great time with my build and the lwoering springs are the last leg of the journey, visually, before I can mount my CTR wing!

Be easy y'all

yes, go for rear camber arms... i am lowered 2.6"inch in the back and my camber was -2.9...
and wear was uneven and 3/4inch of outside tire never touched the road that is bad for handling...
so i ordered Hardrace rear camber arm and set to -1.1 rear camber and it is alot of diffrence in handling through corners... now i have to figure it out how to get front camber...

You definitely need a camber kit with the Sportlines, your rear wheels and tires will be way out of alignment - the factory camber arms have little adjustment. We're running the SPC Camber Kit with Whiteline's Toe Arms on our Blue street + track build Si :)

Both are available on our site:
