a little more -- eibach says that it will be ok and not to worry about camber arms until you hit 1.5 inch drop, but I just don't want to chew up my tires in 10,000 miles instead of 30 or 40,000. thanx

 

If your running the sportline kit you "should" get a camber kit in the rear, the front isn't as necessary. Without it your tires will wear pretty quick. The fronts aren't too bad. i would say i lost about 2-3k miles of life with my sportlines on (on oem re040's that is).

 

thank you very much for the quick reply. I am only getting the pro-kit. Sorry, I should have mentioned that. So it looks like I'll be OK. thanx again,

 

yea, most people are able to get within oem specs with the prokit, some sit lower that others and need a camber kit.

Also about hop up racing, i never knew about their sh!tty return policy, but i've ordered a couple of items from them and never had a problem, always got the parts quick. Had the springs already been shipped or something?

 

I had to get a camber kit for the rears, I am running Eibach Sportlines

 

thanx again for your help. Yes the springs had been shipped and received, but the shop only had them for maybe one week and I even called and explained the situation and that I was willing to purchase the hotchkis from them. They still wouldn't budge stating that you only have four days to return them. I told them that negative blogs will cost them a lot more money than making the exchange which of course I would have even paid the restocking fee. But Whatever!!!! I will not buy from them anymore.

Anyhow - I don't want to have to e-bay the eibach's so I am going to go ahead with the install, but I just hope that they will be OK, b/c working with a budget and don't want to have to put out for the camber arms right now.

Thanx again. Will probably be off line until Monday.

 

just wanted to add on my mods: 05 base model, B&M short shift kit, Injen ses true dual exhaust, high flow cats, DC ceramic headers, unichip, Altered atmosphere reflash, Procharger w/ intercooler with 9 lb. pulley, MD 5/16 plenum spacer, 440 jets, 35%tint, Eclipse sound system with navigation, 15 lb flywheel, stage II clutch, super lightweight Kossie wheels (10 spoke with 452's -- 275 rear, 245 front, carbon intake, hotchkis antisway, and more to come. Going with engine dampening kit, jwt oil pan spacer, and the Eibach pro-kit. After that - lightweight battery repositioned to the rear of vehicle. Right now 380 hp to the wheels.

 

I'd also like to know PRO or SPORTLINES? CAMBER KIT?

 

Back from the dead yo!

 

nice drop! you most def convinced me to go with the pro kits.

 

Definitely the Eibach Pro springs, not the sportlines. I beleive the sportlines offer a lower height but softer spring rate?
And no, I did not have a camber kit installed.

 

edit never mind LOL

 

I've had my Pro-Kits on about a year now and they've settle a bit lower than when I first installed them but the ride has maintained the same--in terms of handling and quality. I also put in Eibach's rear Camber kits with the springs and had them aligned right after the install, and 3 months after. Both alignments were within OEM specs with room to spare.

When/if my shocks wear out, I'm thinking Koni. Anyone here use Pro-Kit Springs with Koni Yellows?

 

found answer

 

Just ordered mine. Little concerned though. Was there a noticeable improvement in handling over stock? Ordered new sways so that should help too.
