To start off, I’m in need of some good advice on lowering springs for my sport sedan. So far, I think the Eibach Pro Kit or the Sportlines are my top choices. However, I’ve done my research on the forums and have seen some members suggesting to buy a camber kit so the alignment can be in spec with factory. Others, have said they didn’t need a camber kit.

Does anyone have any idea on how much more wear and tear my tires (stock tires) would have if I lowered my car without a camber kit. If it’s not significant, then I don’t see a point in buying one. I’m a broke 17 year old so I don’t exactly have the money to purchase springs AND a camber kit☹. If you guys could give me advice, I would appreciate it so much. Thanks!

If you go Pro-Kit you don't need a camber kit, alignment will be within spec and you won't notice any unusual wear and tear. If you were tracking the car every weekend I would recommend the camber kit due the excessive hard driving but on the street not necessary. Eibach recommends the camber kit for the Sportlines as it is a more aggressive drop than the Pro-Kit, I personally would run the camber kit on the Sportlines as recommended. I know some people who run them them without but they don't drive there cars all that often.

I like the Pro-KIt in my opinion it lowers it enough to improve the look without impeding performance/handling and causing excessive wear.

I enjoyed my H&R Sport Springs for over a year. Only scraped on my aftermarket exhaust and didn't have any problems with wheel and tires.

dont worry i am on coilovers with 2.15" drop, front camber is -0.6, rears are at -2.6, inside of a rear tires worn 0.04" more than outside in 6k miles, now i am on winter setup
in spring i will put rear tires on front and wear should even out, with sportlines you are looking for around -2.1 camber range, but make sure you do proper alignment, toe is the real tire killer...

On the Eibach website the following details is present on both kits:

" Rear Camber Kit part# 5.67476K is required for proper alignmen" :hmm:
