newbie Q for camber.

shawn84

I just got Eibach pro kit springs and wondering do i need camber kit with this springs? If so, should I get front & rear both camber kit? or just rear kit is fine.?
Would 20mm spacer on front and 25mm spacer on rear rub with 19" stock rays?

It wont rub. Well i didnt when i dropped with h&r springs.

You only need camber kits if you want to/need to bring camber back to spec, or adjust camber to a specific amount. Rear camber adjustment is possible with the stock components, but front camber is not adjustable with the stock upper control arm. A lot of people who lower their cars do not install camber kits. The induced negative camber with lowering +/- using spacers may cause uneven wear on the tires. However, the negative camber has other pros and cons to handling, depending on what you want for your vehicle. So, in short, aftermarket camber kits are not mandatory...depends on your application.

I have SPC front and rear camber kits because I wanted to corner balance (you can only corner balance with coilovers, btw) and specifically adjust my suspension for an aggressive street/occasional track set-up. After installing coilovers and lowering my car 0.75" front and 0.5" rear, with 15mm and 20mm spacers, my front camber was way off. I needed camber kits to dial in the camber to -2.2F and -2.0R. This front camber has greatly reduced understeer for me. Tire wear has been pretty even thus far.

Your 20mm and 25mm spacers with the 19" Rays will look great after you install your Eibach springs.

Since you're going to be working on the suspension it probably isn't a bad idea to put them in just so you don't have to do it later if you decide you want to make adjustments. Just another way to think about it.

Thanks for all the responses from these calm members. I've been reading thread after thread about camber arms.

I'm in the same boat... about to order Swift springs but unsure about camber arms... the kit is $500+ ! I know I will need the rear camber arms, but it's the front that's killing me!
