Do I really need a camber kit?
I just called Shox.com, credit card at the ready, for some B&G springs. They tell me I need a camber kit with the springs, $26 for the front pair and $98!!! for the rear pair. I did a search and the general opinion is that I'd be okay if I regularly rotate the tires but after talking to the shoxs.com guy I'm not sure. I'd like to hear from a few orgers that have some experience with this.

Hey i got the Eibach front camber bolts, they are just bolts that adjust +-1.75 degrees (i think). They seem to be ok for me but i dont think you HAVE to have them when you lower your car. I didnt have them before and i wore through tires but that might be because my alignment was off. Like I said, they seem to be ok for me. The guys at alignment shop like them because it makes it a little easier for them too i think.

This is only for the front though. I haven't seen a lowered 3rd Gen yet that has had camber problems in the rear. You can either buy the elongated bolts or have the strut holes elogated.
