What TECH dept said at EIBACH
I called Eibach tech dept today here is what I found out (Pro Kit)...
The 1st gen CL will always require a rear camber to correct the negative camber. They usually will not require a front camber kit. However, some cars will also require front camber correction after the springs settle. 1st Gen CL's usually are just within factory specs for the front. Having wheels that are not within the factory camber specs not only wears tires more quickly but also puts extra stress on the wheel studs. The tires constant are trying to pull away from the car.
I've seen a lot of posts about suspension last couple weeks so I figured I share the info.

yeah none here either - I've driven 70,000 miles with no camber kit - driven my car pretty hard at times, no problems whatsoever - I guess at least not yet. As for tire wear, I've only gone through 2 sets of Dunlop sp8000's in that 70,000 miles, not bad. And I'm still on my stock shocks - they're still hanging in there

you dont really need camber kits for the rear. from factory the rear are already adjustable and most alignment shops should be able to do it. i got nuespeed sports and the alignment shop corrected my rear but i need camber kit for the front
