Eibach Pro kit. Camber correction?

Prolly asked a million times before, but came up with squat doing a search. It's a toss up between Comptech / Eibach, and leaning towards Eibach if I don't need to do camber correction. A little negative camber won't hurt anyway.

Pics (or links) would be nice also.

On a side note, installed the Comptech sways this morning. What a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad I took everyone's advice, this is the way the car should come off the assembly line. NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT!

FYI for the sway install process. Use a pair of small needle nose vise grips, and 1/2" drive ratchet with a 14mm short socket (14mm long for the fronts.) You hold the stud with the vise grips between the sway / endlink (yes, there's enough room.) This is the easiest way to do the job. Makes it a breeze.

Still busted the back of my left hand quite nicely!

TIA - Jim

Ok, I'll answer my own question (just looked at Chod's FAQ.)

I'll stick with Comptech

Q - anyone running Comptech / Tokico Blue's? Sounds like the stock dampers will need replaced anyway.

Still give me some pic links for Comptech's. Although I've seen them a million times, I wan't MORE!!

Ahh, ta heck with it. Just ordered Comptech springs from Tim.

I'll let the stock dampers do their stuff for a while first.

you should change out your shocks too, it gives the car ten times more feel and it gives your car a nice firm ride (not harsh), check out my sig, I have the tokico blues on my ground control coilovers...my GC are lowered about 2 finger gap all around and the shocks blew out after about 2 weeks since I put my GC coilovers on...

Do you always talk to yourself? I guess Sat. afternoons are a little slow on the board. My guess would be that Koni yellow is the strut of choice here. I seem to remember 1/2 front and 3/8 rear for initial settings? YMMV

I have the comptech springs for over a year and haven't had a problem w/the shocks. i'll replace them when they wear out.
