Bro you don't need a front since your dropped on EIbach, you can get a good alignment and your straight. If anything, get the rear, the fronts from what I read are having issues.

ill probably need them soon. going to go with like 13mm or 15mm spacers. wheels are sticking out too much in the front so that will need to get fixed.

Dude anything more than negative 2 is bad, stock is negative 1.7ish. that's fine. you should be concerned with the TOE, that's what eats your tires.

Take it to another shop, they don't know jack. Try West End Alignment in Gardena they got mine back into spec after I got dropped on Eibachs.

Trust us you DON'T need a camber kit, just a better shop.

There's a few things I still don't get.

I had my Eibach installed for 6 months now and a week ago I went to get an alignment and was told the front camber isn't adjustable and that I need a camber kit, but the rear is adjustable.

If the rear is adjustable then why do ppl get rear camber kits?
If the front isn't camber adjustable then wouldn't it need a camber kit?

I had camber wear on my front tires, rear tires weren't too bad.

whoa my head hurts...

the rears are adjustable but you could only adjust so much.

You get a rear camber kit so you have MORE adjustable range.

My confusion is this: the stock rear is adjustable but people get a camber kit anyway so it's MORE adjustable – fine – but the front is NOT adjustable and yet people usually don't get a front camber kit, why?

It's in Gardena, it's $90, and I don't know what you're asking me last, they will get it to whatever spec you ask for if you have camber kits. People go for stock alignment, full race, whatever..
