I would recommend getting the rear camber kit and a good alignment. A good alignment will help, but the rear camber kit will let you get the exact settings you want.

It is easy and cheap to install the rear camber kit while the springs are being installed. Given the cost of how expensive the tires are, I would not bother risking it without a camber kit. If you do not buy the camber kit, what may happen is you get the springs installed, get an alignment, and find out it is out of spec. Then you will have to pay to get the camber kit installed on it's own, and have to pay for another wheel alignment afterwards. So just looking at it from a cost point of view, doesn't make sense.

When I looked at my rear camber before the alignment was done, it was pretty bad, way out of factory specs. I don't think even a good alignment would have brought it back with out the rear camber arms.


These cars are not cheap, and spending a little extra to get the camber and toe correct is the right move.

Anyways, I was in your spot before so thought I would help. Like I said I like the springs. I think the car rides much smoother, and it kills the wheel gap without dropping the car too much. I love the look. I don't have too many issues with scraping etc as long as you just be a little aware of certain bumps, etc. But it is not too bad for everyday driving. Handling feels much better. Having the rear camber kit just gave me more comfort knowing that my car was riding on the correct settings.
