NEW Eibach CTR-Specific SportLine Springs & Rear Camber Arm Install & Release Info (lots of pics)

What camber settings were you able to get up front? I assume the rear can hit -1.8-2 easily? Curious how much I can get up front

Supposedly there is zero factory adjustment. With the aftermarket arms you have up to +/-3.

Well he didn’t use an aftermarket arm up front that I read about. I know you can take out the shock tower alignment things but I wanted real world numbers from someone.

i only got -1.8 on the front with the pins removed on pro kits.
I have SPC arms (basically same as eibach) on the rear and you can't get a lot of camber if you want to. I run -2.1

YMMV - but this is the Update from Eibach regarding MY alignment numbers:

Front camber is not adjustable without removing the pins.

The car came in with:


Camber

-1.3 Left front

-1.7 right front


Toe

-0.12 Left front

-0.41 right front


Camber

-2.0 Left Rear

-1.7 Right Rear


Toe

0.05

0.24


With 0 toe, you will not see the same effects of the negative camber wear as quickly. It left with:


Camber

-1.3 Left front

-1.7 right front


Toe

0.06 Left Front

0.07 Right Front


Camber

-1.7 Left Rear

-1.7 Right Rear


Toe

0.10 Left Rear

0.09 Right Rear

Looks solid man.

Thank you

If my CTR was my dual use track/street car, instead of my daily, my ideal would be stock ride height, 10-15% stiffer front, 20% stiffer rear.

Any idea when the preorder will be active? Will the alignment kit be included?

Eibach Sportline for the FK8 — Now Available!

https://eibach.com/us/c-301-product-releases-2017-2018-honda-civic-type-r.html

Hi All —

So i did a track day with this setup, Nov 24th at WSIR VtecClubUSA Rd 5..
Wheel spec: 18x9.5 + 35
Tire spec: Federal RSRR 255/35

** For comparison, i did 5 track days total in 2018 — 1 with the stock height & 3 with the Eibach ProKit (all with 18x9.5 + 45 wheel setup) & last one with the Sportline.

** It was my first time at WSIR, first time with VtecClubUSA & first time with Intermediate Low group overall (finally had the guts to skip “Beginner”).
I finished 2nd overall in my group, half a second behind the best time (for my group) that day.

** There was significantly less roll (if any) on the Sportline vs any other configuration my car had before on the track. We did CW and those that are familiar with Big Willow know turn 1. I was doing 127mph tops, late braking on the last cone to throw it left — the terrain helps but there & throughout the track - i do not remember any roll at all.

** After driving with the setup on for 3 months — i Love it more! Definitely smoother & more responsive than the ProKit feel, looks a lot better, too.
My street setup is the Regamaster (18x9.5 + 45) with Michelin PSS 275/35/18, and i rub very slightly on very nasty bumps only on the front. I have the Adjustable rear camber arms (which Eibach recommends with the Sportline) & i have had ZERO problems with the back.
Eibach R&D is on currently for a front solution (sshh) but until that time, i would suggest a max tire width of 265/35/18 - ESPECIALLY if you usually load up the car with passengers.
You will NOT have any rubbing problems for 265/35/18 and narrower tires (+35 offset and up only).

** Definitely no bottoming out, no bump stops needed trimming.. i just have to be a lil more careful approaching ramps vs with the ProKit — you all know how that is.

If i missed anything, feel free to message me.

Thanks for the write-up. I currently have the Pro-kits installed and looking at other spring options (particularly the Swift and Spoon) to replace them. If I wanted to maintain stock or close to stock alignment settings with the Sportlines, do I need the adj. rear camber arms or can I retain the stock arms?
