Eiabachs and wheel spacers

Looking to do the eiabach drop. However, I really don't want to worry about a camber kit. Would I need one with these? Also, just relalized I will need some spacers to complement the drop. How big do I need with stock rims and which brand/type do I need to do this correctly? Will there be any issues reagarding noise/vibration assuming they are instlalled correctly? Also, how much are spacers?

*Eibach

You don't need to worry about a camber kit. The drop is subtle enough and any shop can do an alignment without the need of it. As for spacers, I have H&R 20 mm DRM spacers all around and there have been no noise or vibration issues. A pair of spaces for the front and rears will run you about $125 a pair.

Also there are multiple threads on this topic. The search bar near the top of the page will suffice what you are looking for.

Exactly what Samurai said. I'm dropped on Eibach with no camber kit and it's fine, a little negative in the back but nothing crazy, looks good. I have 20mm DRM Fronts and 25mm DRM Rears and it is pretty flush.

My fronts were back to factory, but the rears were a little negative. Making it looks a little more aggressive but not crazy.

if you had a chance to get the swifts instead of eibach, would you still go eibach?

I've heard good things about both. I don't know of anyone that has had both, that would be the true review. As of now, I would still stay with the Eibachs.

Anyone have pics of the eibachs installed without spacers? Trying to see how bad it would look. Don't feel like dropping an additional 250 right now on spacers.

I was lowered on Eibach and was in spec all around almost. Except one of my fronts, but it was really close. I suggest H&R DRM spacers 20mm front, 25mm back with stock tires. (I had slight rubbing with 25 in front because of the stock 45 profile tires.) The wheels will be nasty tucked in without spacers so I suggest you get it. I got mine from FBparts for under $250 (:

This is no spacers.
