I think I regret putting in Eibach Springs. Opinions please! *Pics*

Push the wheels out with 20mm spacers front & Rear and put on the rear SPC camber kit, I think it makes a huge difference, then you can decide if

Push the wheels out with 20mm spacers front & Rear and put on the rear SPC camber kit, I think it makes a huge difference, then you can decide if you want to take out the Eibachs. When I put the rear camber back closer to stock, it actually raised the car about 5mm. You can always go with some adjustable BC coilovers (about $995) sell your Eibachs, then you can adjust the ride height where you want it.
I don't think it looks too low, but definitely need the spacers. I'm running 15mm front and 20mm rear, but my Nismo rims have a more aggressive offset, I would definitely go 20mm on front with stock sport rims.

By the way, can front camber be adjusted at all without control arms? Or will I be stuck with whatever the outcome is when I get the spacers put in...

This is exactly what my plans were. You don't think I made that decision without seeing your pics already...do you?

Then again, I've seen your pics where you have the spacers installed only on the rear. Even still, my drop in front looks lower than yours. Don't really know why.
