My car is at the shop as I'm posting this. In addition to the alignment, the guy there said I need a camber kit because my front driver side was at -1 camber. So, I guess you do need a camber kit if you're going with Sprint's.
I like the drop of the front, but the rear is a different story. I thought about having Sprint's in the front and Intrax's in the back, but that would be a weird setup; two different springs on the same car. So, I guess I have to live with the higher rear end now.

How long have you had ur sprints in. Mine was pretty high in the back as well, but then after a couple weeks it became noticeably lower. I think mine has settled all the way now and the back looks ok. Just my 2 cents though, I rather have my car look high in the back then it sagging like some honda accords look like when u lower them.

-1.0 camber is nothing! Most sportscars run -1 to -1.5 camber. Your inner tires shouldn't wear out much sooner than the rest of the vehicle (if your toe specs are okay, too).
I run -2.5 on my little autoX beater car..

Well, I got the camber kit anyway. Maybe the camber isn't as bad, but you know how expensive tires are these days; good ones anyway. Maybe I misheard what the guy said, the phone was breaking up, so I'm not too sure if it was -1 camber or more.

I got my car back today. Total price was $186.50! The alignment itself only cost $64.95. The camber kit wasn't expensive either, only $31.95, but the labor was what really cost the most, $69.00 for labor! Add onto this was the misc shop supplies and sales tax. Btw, the camber kit was called EZ CAM; never heard of it. Expensive, but I hope it's all worth it.
Also, now I got a better look at the rear, dang...it sure does sits high! I really, really hope that it will "settle".
