Default Lowered Z, do I need the Eibach Alignment Kit

The Eibach ProKit drops the car about an inch, but is it necessary to buy the Eibach Alignment Kit?

I found a few on ebay & what not. It seems to be for the back cambers, but In the past, all the cars that I lower butterflys in the front wheels, not the back, anyhow, any advice would be appreciated....pa pa pa peace!

I've installed Tein S-techs and didn't have to get a camber kit. I did get an alignment done. The back seemed to need it more than the front. With 1" lowering, you should be fine without it, just get an alignment. Only the more aggressive lowering heights need the camber kit.

I've got an inch and a quarter about with my Tanabe GF 210s and I just needed an alignment. You shouldn't need a camber kit.

My Eibach Sportline Springs were $250, includes shipping. I had Eibach Springs before & the ride is really smooth, I'm hoping it's the same for my Z.

no need for alignment kit... although most shops will try to sell you on it. Just get an alignment an you'll be fine.

from my experience, if you drop your car more than 0.75" in the rear, you will need an camber kit. I have Tein S-Tech, and even with rear camber kit, the spec does not get back to factory, just close to it.

The front seems to be okay.

Did you get any noise from the suspension after the spring install? My Eibachs make the car look and handle great, but at slow speed bumps and turns I notice sounds coming from the suspension. Creeking noises like something is not moving freely.

I've got Tein S-techs and my car looks like it needs a major camber adjustment. I'm not sure that just an alignment will remedy this
