Question for you guys, I am really tempted to drop my G here before the end of the summer and want to get the Eibach lowering springs. I have read alot online saying some people get camber kits and others that do not (some just the rear). How many of you guys have camber kits and what do you suggest? I don't mind spending the money on it if it will make a difference on the wear on my tires. And Lance I will be storing my car for the winter months

Honestly.....I'm tempted to not even do the camber kits. My tires show no signs of significant wear after being aligned n drove for 4 to 5k miles. I realize that isn't much, but you can't even tell they had 2 degrees of neg camber. I read somewhere that Eibach said camber kits weren't necessary. So I'm happy to go w/o, if u scoop em up now they have a 10% cash back on them. Check with Lance/Kris, but the best price I saw was 240 shipped through stillen. 5% back for first timers too

Yea I have seen for around $240 as well. I have the sport suspension pckg on my G now, do you guys think the drop will be closer to 1.5'' for front and rear, and are the front springs going to sit similar to the rear? Or will it be an uneven drop like some people experience..

I've always had a great stance with em. Fronts are always a lower drop over the other brands. Sedans are rated 1.5/1.2, I'd guess coupes are 1.2/1.0 since they are already lower

The drop on Eibach is not significant enough to warrant a camber kit. Just get an alignment a couple of weeks after your drop and you should be fine.

Kris has 4 sets...he's asking 225 SHIPPED

I figured Peng and Hossam would want them w/ the Tein's when you guys inquired so he stocked up from SPC.

Does Kris have Eibachs? If so I would be interested in those - and is he a local guy?

Yes, Kris is a guy I met through my wife Lindsey. They work together in St Paul, but he actually lives in Eau Claire and he has to be in the office atleast once a week in SP.
Him and his brother started a company about a year ago and has been in the works of getting the website setup and all of the distributors to have relations with him for direct pricing.

For the first 6 months, he's willing to sell pretty much anything damn near cost, just to gain the business as well to spread the word.

He can get pretty much any part you want Dan, would you like me to get a price quote for you from him?
