Is camber kit needed for Eibachs Pros?
Whats up all, this topic again oh no. But seriously, feedback needed. I like the more even drop Eibachs pro kit gives you as opposed to Comptechs rake look, but I hear that they dont fit well into the CLS, and that you will need a camber kit, but also you will need to replace your tires every 10k 
. Someone please set this info straight? CLpower, blxmjx anyone? Thanks

it's not needed, but for me my tokico shocks sit a little lower then the stock shocks, so it would be a little beneficial, but as long as i rotate tires often i should be fine. When i had my car SLAMMED i went through a set of tires in 7K right down to the metal cause my camber was so bad.

I need info on the Pro-Kit too. According to Doug at Rick Case Acura you can get the car aligned to within factory specs with the Pro-Kit, but on the outer limits of the factory specs. I want to know if the alignment deteriorates the more you drive the car with the Pro-Kit or if you're fine once the springs settle? Also, is the excessive tire wear true? I didn't think it was going to be too bad.

the tire wear won't be that extreme at all. And yes w/ the pro-kit you can still work w/ the factory alignment specs w/o a problem. You will be fine w/ it. Except if you don't rotate your tires often you might get a lil premature wear. In my opinion, you'll be fine w/o it. But if you want to go lower it's a good investmant.

I wasn't able to get my car into factory spec in the rear with my pro-kit, but the front was fine. The rear has some negative camber, but the guys at the tire shop said it wasn't that bad. Unfortunately, I've only driven about 2500 since I had it installed, so I can't give you a long term trial... but I don't notice any severe uneven tire wear yet. Otherwise, I LOVE IT! Great mix between handling and comfort.

How often will the tires need to be rotated? I usually rotate every 7500, every 3k?
I dont really want to go lower, I just want an even look. The measurements on the pro-kit is 1.5 in the front and 1.75 in the rear, correct?
Will the rear tire tuck?

Someone said that the Pro-Kit gives you a 2 finger gap over the rear wheels.
