camber and springs

hi...
anyone have any problems with camber and uneven tire wear after lowering their car? is it necessary to buy and anti camber kit? i'm having tokico and eibachs put in.

also, on installation, is there anything additional such as spring isolators or spring caps that i should tell the guy installing them to put in?

thanks

You only need a camber kit if your drop is below 1.5"

Eibachs won't require one, nor will H&R's. Sprints should even be OK. GC's definitely need one.

Yeah, you definitely don't need a camber kit with Eibachs.

No, you DON'T need a camber kit with anything under a 2" drop, and often even with a 2" drop. GC's are more than 2 inches, so you need them there. Not Eibachs.

Eibachs are only 1.5".....just put your springs on and test drive (after getting an alignment) for about 2-3 weeks and check for tire problems....you should have none. I've never seen a max with Eibachs need it....but be safe.
