I haven't got it myself but I think most people tend to just get the rear.

For eibach honestly I think most would agree that you don't really need a camber kit with a good alignment because the Eibach PK is a mild drop.
But if you have the money and want to do it right(or can't really stand the camber look) then get both kits.

I'm sure others can chime in but for me personally my rears were more out of spec than my fronts so yeah.

Don't really need a camber kit for springs drop. Much more necessary when going to coils.

My rear tires wore out on the inside much faster than the fronts. So get it for the rear.

After driving on the pro kit for 26000 km last year there was camber wear on my rear tires. Nothing too dramatic but I saw a rear camber kit for sale in the marketplace and got it to save my tires. I wouldn't spend the $ for a new kit but if you see used lots for sale then it might be worth it.

I thought I wouldn't need a camber kit after my eibach drop, but my alignment showed me to be -2.5 + on every tire. It took a month to get my camber kit f + r from spc and by then my front tires were absolutely bald on the inner tread.

if your experience is anything like mine, you need a camber kit. after adjusting camber to the max from the kit, I'm back in spec on all tires, at about -1 degree.

on the plus side, the wear on my tires allowed me to upgrade to 20's, and I love my continental extreme dws's now.

im planning on buying both front and rear because the stock front camber is non adjustable so it would be nice to actually get to adjust that.

*********FRONT**************

I just dropped mine on Eibachs 2 weeks ago and literally just got back from an alignment. Rears are close to spec, fronts will need a camber kit if you want them close to spec.

They were able to adjust toe and camber in rear to green, toe to green in front. Only think out of spec was front camber.

Toe is what actually eats up the tires, not so much the camber
