Use the search bar, there are hundreds of posts about this.

There is no 100% guaranteed answer for this. The best answer is probably not. Eibach's don't drop enough to require you to camber them in....unless they do.

The search doesn't work on the app I'm using for the forum. App is IB AutoGroup. When I search it kept saying search error.

Ok thanks. I'm gonna do some more searching on this.

I dropped mine last month and I had no F/R camber kits installed. A good alignment shop can set your setting close to specs but not within. Your front cambers are not adjustable so most likely they are hard to get close to specs. You will run a lil bit negative camber less than -2. From my understanding, toes are wearing your tires faster than cambers so it is important that your toes setting are as close as to specs. You will find mixed comments whether or not to buy camber kits. IMO, if money is not issue, you should buy a kit just in case if you want to go lower with coilovers in the future. If not then save that $400 for another mods ..

Good replies, it's a mixed bag about absolutely needed them or getting by without. Like mentioned, if your budget allows I'd get the camber & toe kits. Tires get expensive pretty quick and getting everything "correct" from the start is never a bad idea.
Here's a recent thread about just his topic~

It got a quote for $350 shipped for the front arms only and $450 for both I think its really good deal from one vendor here. However, I found it s bit funny that the kit is more expensive than the springs itself. If you can do $350, I would recommend getting them because the Eibach drops front more than rear. Here is my reading w/o F/R camber kit. I drove 1k miles and see nothing strange to my tires yet, maybe too soon to tell I will just have to rotate them every 3k miles..



Hope this helps..

Yeah I was gonna say they're more expensive than the springs. I'll have to wait on that till spring. But just needed more info on this before I go and do this.

teonguyen, pretty decent alignment data for having no camber kits, your tires should wear pretty well, especially if you can rotate them every oil change.

Gonna bump this.

Did you guys install the springs yourself or have a shop install it??

My 7th gen Max is lowered on eibachs and had a shop install it. One shop quoted me $600 for install and alignment and other shop quoted $300 just install. No camber kit needed for the Max so hopefully I won't need one yet for my G37x on eibachs when I do get the springs.
