Eibach SPORTLINE KIT Question

I am looking at getting the SPORTLINE KIT from Eibach and I was woundering if I need to get a camber kit?

Thanks,

Jason.

Suspension is very important. Save up the money and do it right the first time ;-)

I think you should be going for the drop you want...not the drop that lets you avoid getting a camber kit

You really don't NEED one IMO. Sure your tires might wear a little worse, but the touch of negative camber is actually beneficial to handling.

well... the toe effect is the bigger problem.


And yeah, you need some even with the prokit.

You can adjust toe w/o a camber kit.

But, I would still recommend one b/c the camber gets noticeably negative w/ even a moderate drop.

hence it's not called a Camber+Toe kit

I was just stating...

I have the Eibach kit and you can run without the camber kit, however you will accelerate the wear on your rears considerably. I will likely add the camber kit before I buy my next set of tires. I will say the handling, and in particular cornering is hugely enhanced, although you do inherit a rough ride.

That is on the sportline kit correct?

I was riding on the Sportlines and Tokico Hp's on my Integra and the ride wasn't too bad IMO. But then again, this may be becuase i've spent a lot of time in trucks on airbags.

But seriously, the ride wasn't that bad.

Tire wear in the rear was an issue however and i went through a set of tires before fixing the problem with a camber kit.
