Eibach ProKit & camber kit help?
I just got my new 16" rims w/ 205/45 Kumho's. As you can see, I have a good sized height increase. I want to go with Eibach ProKit spring because they only drop me 1.25". My question is, with the new rims (up 1" from stock) will I need to get a camber kit with the new springs??? Thanks!

Re: Eibach ProKit & camber kit help?
You can't just say "No, you won't need a kit" because each situation is unique. Suspension geometry changes with every single thing you do to it, like rims, tires, springs, shocks and shock condition, alignment, etc. I would tend to say no but the only way to know for sure is to get the drop and get an alignment and have them check camber. Or get the drop and wait a few weeks to see if your $400 tires are ruined or not

how are you up 1" from stock?
you got the proper upgrade for the tire? Stock for the Si is 195/55/15 you dropped the profile to 45 instaed of 55, that would mean your height would remain the same. If you drop with the prokit then you should install and find out your alignement specs and post them up, they should be able to get you close. At the very least you will be at the higher end of negative camber for factory specs or you may be over,a nd if tire life is your concern then yes a camber kit is a must. I agree with rice, this is a case by case situation. Drop it align it and see where you are at.

Thanks guys.
I meant rims size went 1" up from stock. I put my old rim/tires beside the new ones and they are exactly the same. And after talking with Rick (i like naked girls), I think I'll just go with the .75" H&R Springs drop. |
