Eibach Pro-Kit

This question is for everyone who has had the Eibach Pro-Kit springs installed on their CL w/ stock shocks. Did you need a camber kit? Also is the ride still quite smooth? I have a 99 2.3 CL and am looking to get the Eibach's. Any info is much appreciated. Thank you.

I didn't need a camber kit.

The ride was very nice too. I was able to roll on my stocks for a long time. As a matter of fact, they are still in excellent condition.

Guess I was lucky...

I have the Pro-Kit. No camber kit needed.

I only rode on the springs for a week before I put on KYB AGX shocks/struts.

The springs rode pretty nice.

-u wont need a camber kit
-u will need an alignment most likely
-its hit or miss u will either blow the shocks in a month or they might last awhile.
-its stupid to take ur spring/ shock apart again to change shocks. much cheaper to do it now and if u get koni yellows u can alwasy drop the car another .5" about if the prokit alone isnt enough

then ull get this about 1 finger gap

What's the mileage again to replace shocks? I'm at about 95,000 right now and I highly doubt the owner before me changed the shocks and I'm ready to install my pro-kit.

Camber need is not determined until after the job. I would think everyone here would have that down by now.

THe size of your wheel/tire combo, the setting on your dapmner, the age of your vehicle, etc all have an impact on the need for camber or not.

I know that already. I was trying to find out the probability of whether or not I would need a camber kit. There's no harm in that is there?
