As for no camber arms in the rear...well, all I can say is, I told you to get them. Most people that say you don't need them are going off of the rated drop; the problem is that once they settle, the Sportlines are FAR lower than the rated drop. I've had them, and I wouldn't have got in spec with the stock camber arms.

Thanks fellas. I will probably be placing an order for some camber arms this week. I got my car aligned last night.

here are the specs

front camber: -1.6
front toe: 0.04R 0.04L (0.08 TOTAL)

rear camber: -2.7L -3.0R
rear toe: 0.05R 0.05L (0.10 TOTAL)

The car feels so much better now from before it was aligned.

I'm not sure what the stock specs are supposed to be...I was trying to search but couldn't find the specific information i was looking for.

I did a little online shopping/research on camber arms.

I've read about Ichiba arms failing so I think i've crossed those off my list.

I have come across these though:
http://www.conceptzperformance.com/C...766.241.32.158

any input on these particular camber arms? I was confused on the "suspension 101" thread and wasn't sure if these were crap or good if you're baullin on a budget.

Any insight or clarification would be greatly appreciated...and if those circuit sports camber arms are okay to get...i'll make the purchase today!

thanks again!

What is the actual drop on our cars with these springs? I have seen 1.2 inches and 1.7-2.1 inches.

Go with the Eibach or SPC kit.. It has the non articulating ends which aren't so good.

Actual drop is about 1" lower than what Eibach claims.

on some angles it seems like the rear is lower than the front...i believe its just my -2.7 camber that makes it look like that.

hope this helps anyone who's looking to buy these springs.

i don't think you'll NEED the upper control arms but i would suggest getting the rear camber arms.

as far as spacers go...25mm rear and 15mm up front should do. H&R, ICHIBA make great spacers.
