Nope. I've had the Pro-Kit for 10k miles and I have no wear issues.

springs

so the eibach pro should be okay with my size wheels? do i need to replace the shocks? i am just worried about inside tire wear without a camber set. i also don't know if it's standard to replace the shocks when you get new springs.

the stock shocks will be alright. Also, you may need a camber kit, you may not. Each and every car is different.

I have the pro-kit and also have rear camber. After the springs settled for about 2 months I was 0.5 degrees outside the spec on both sides.

camber

does getting a camber depend on the size of tire? i have 225/45/17 tires. can i get away with not having camber?
