Does it rub? Or any issues with it especially when you have passengers?
No rubbing as of right now. Like I said Im waiting for it to settle. I think most springs settle but we will see. My rims are 18x8.5 +35 with 235/40/18s

Have you hit any significant bumps to see if it hits by the sidemarker lights? Your tires may have a slightly narrower profile than the BF Goodrich ones I am running. We have the same size wheels/offset/tire size and mine rubbed enough that I quit driving it until I rolled the front tabs.

I haven't heard any rubbing or anything. My roads are here are pretty rough so I have gone over some significant bumps etc. Im going to get an alignment this week to see how bad my rear camber are. Did you get an alignment? How off was your rears?

Yes, I had a full alignment done. I didn't ask to see how far off it was. If you aren't rubbing then that's fantastic. Keep an eye on it.

Update:

It’s been well over a month now since I’ve been lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs. I still have not installed my rear spc adjustable camber arms and I still have not gotten an alignment. I do not see unusual tire wear yet.

I want to second @DoingOK ’s comments regarding the rubbing experienced in the front fender area, near the fender liner tab. It is really easy to “roll” this tab.

Pics below:

In this last picture (it’s really hard to see, didnt get a good picture), you can see I rolled or bent back the tab so it’s mostly flush against the inner fender. After doing so, all my front rubbing noises have gone away.

Where did you get your side skirts?
I installed OEM Sport Hatch side skirts. I will post a thread later this week with more details.
