I had the pro kit installed about a month ago, and I had an alignment perfromed immediately after the installation. Surprisingly enough my camber was ok, but my toe was out of spec.

I've put a little over a 1000 miles on the car since and haven't noticed any problems

I've had them for a year no wear and the camber is good.

I'm quite sure Jim H., photog extraordinaire, has Eibachs & over 60,000 miles. He swears by them & has never commented on alignment issues.

I had eibach prokits on my last car (eclipse) with 18"s and the camber was wayy off. I was going thru tires quicker than you can imagine. Thats why I went with tein s-tech's. Even though it doesn't drop the car as much as I wanted it to, I think that the headache I save in camber/wear issues is well worth it. Obviously the springs for the Z might be different, but from what I remember the prokit for the eclipse was supposed to be a 1.3(?) all around and it ended up sagging quite a bit to like 1.8.
