Eibach pro-kit 1.3 drop

I have searched and not found anything to answer a few specific questions. Putting these springs with stock shocks, will that cause any problems?

Second question, Will the 1.3 inch drop cause a lot of premature tire wear? Can I stick with stock camber parts, and have it aligned at the local shop and retain ... mostly stock camber? I am very worried about too much tire wear because I don't have much money to spend on tires right now and this is my daily driver.

Thanks guys.

i think you would be fine without having to buy a new camber kit. 1.3" isnt that big of a drop. I think its only necessary to get a camber kit if you go lower then 2". Just have the alignment shop align the car and you should be good.

I dont think your tires would wear out because it isnt going to be that low. My friend lowered his car 2 inches and ALMOST got away with just aligning the car without a camber kit. At first his tires looked fine, but after a while the front left tire began to wear out while the others were perfectly fine. I think that you should get a camber kit just to be safe. Be sure to post to let us know what you decide to do and if it actually works out cause I'm curious to know if you can pull it off without a camber kit at that low of a drop. Late.

Well.. I've run into money problems, so I'm not going to be spending any on my car unless it's necessary. Sorry. It's all going for rent and food.

That's good to hear. Are you running on stock shocks too?

Yeah stock shocks, never been replaced. No weird noices, doesnt bottom out, and rides smooth for a lowered car.
