Going for a drop...need information/person insights

Currently im on stock 19 inch sport wheels, I'm planning on buying Eibach pro-kit springs & SPC Rear camber kit. I just need to know if i will need anything more after i drop it, alignment? spacers? is a front camber kit needed? i do not want my rear end tucked in & sitting lower than my front.

Just looking for a subtle drop & since i live in NYC the roads aren't really always good, could the eibach suspension put up with the stress? should i expect any rubbing issues?

Spacers on stock wheels? 20mm no rubbing with Eibach.

Get coilovers. You and your car will be happier. It is more expensive but much better in the end

+1 for coilovers. have the eibachs and there ok.

yes for spacers and alignments. camber kit is debatable, boils down to how good of an alignment shop you go to.

In the long run, ill decide to pull the trigger on coilovers, springs will just be a temporary thing until mid spring or summer.

Yes, you'll need an alignment after a week or 2. But you don't have to have camber kit. Many Eibach owners don't have camber kits, including me. Alignment shop should be able to dial it back to within spec. Get the camber kit if you want to maintain a more factory like setup/camber.
