Eibach Spring Question

Getting ready to order the Eibach kit for my car. Is the camber kit a must have with this kit? Thanks in advance.

Camber Kit

To answer your question, the drop is not that drastic that you would need a camber kit. Nice drop nonetheless but don't need it.

Some need it and some don't. I needed the camber kit and 350Z rear control arms to get my alignment in spec.

This exactly, I think if spacers are used its an absolute necessity

How did you determine that you didn't need an alignment? Did you get the alignment checked after installing the spring?

guaranteed if you took it to a shop that measures your camber and toe and thrust angle you would be out of spec if you're thinking just because it doesn't pull one way or the other it's out of alignment you couldn't be more wrong

I say get the springs installed and find the best alignment shop that's close to you (After you let the springs settle all the way in). See how close they can get it in spec and if its not that far off then just roll with it. I know on my 2010 w/18's I need the camber kit and now with my 2013 w/19s I don't so its just a kind of hit and miss and also how well the alignment shop does. Take a picture of the alignment numbers after you get it done and go from there.
