Do you need camber plates with the EIbachs?

Hey I am buying used Eibach springs. I didnt think they dropped the car enough to really justify camber plates but the seller told me today that I should really use camber plates with them.

Any input on this?

I know I can improve handling a little by changing the camber but that makes the tires wear unevenly and usually results in worse braking distances.

I didn't use camber plates with mine. Had them on for 5 years with no problems.

no need to....Eibachs do not drop very low (about the same up front as Maxspeeds) and camber will be fine. Even with H-techs (lower) my camber was within spec up front with my plates centered (I have camber plates, but right now running in-spec camber)

Thats what I thought... just double checking.

Btw I think the Eibachs drop the car a lot more than they claim to especially the front end. Just look at the drop pic on housecors site. The eibachs are one of the lowest. The only ones that are obvsiouly lower are the S-techs
