im sorry if this is a repost, but im planing on eibach springs up next, now my question is will i need a camber kit? and if for example i decide to go with springs without camber, will the camber be to negative which will result in the tires wearing out really fast or i can do without a camber kit for some time without having to worry about tire ware ?

From what I have read on here because I went with the Swift springs is that the front will be fine and can be adjusted within factory specs via an alignment but the rears, from seeing this on mine, will need new camber arms/toe bolt to get full tire contact and to get even tire wear.

Which Eibach springs are you getting? Whether or not you need a camber kit is a function of the drop. A general rule of thumb around here is anything with an inch or less drop should keep you within the factory alignment specs (or very close). Go above an inch and you'll likely need need a rear kit at least.
