Default Camber, with Eibach Pro kit

I am looking to put a set of Eibach Pro springs on my 2008 350zHR.
I believe it's around a 30mm drop, I've read, and heard conflicting info about the camber afterwards.
A few USA threads say I'd does mess up the camber and i need all sorts of other aftermarket suspension arms and bits to correct it.
The Importer here in South Africa says he's done a set for someone before "without any issues". and says there's a mix up between Eibach Germany - Proline and Eibach USA - Sportline (i thought it was just the 2 different versions, stiff and stifferrer and low and lowerrer ) lol.

I gues what I'm asking is:

1)what is the stock camber?
2)what is it once lowered with the basic Eibach Pro kit?
3) do i need to get other aftermarket parts to prevent excessive tire wear?

I would get A Arms for the front and Rear camber arms for the rear with some Toe bolts. There is confusion because some have had no issues, and some have. My OEM alignment was chewing through tires BEFORE the drop(GF210s) so I just bought springs and camber gear when a good deal popped up in the marketplace

The actual alignment specs are in a thread on here... just search for them.

I agree. I installed the Eibach Pro B12 kit with included the Eibach Pro springs and re-valved Bilstein dampers. I purchased the SPC front adjustable upper control arms (A-arms), SPL rear adjustable lower link and rear SPC toe bolts. If you have the extra funds, go for the SPL front A arms. I'm sure the SPC front arms will work out well for my car, which is a DD, but after my purchase I found out that the SPL arms are of higher quality. Not that the SPC A arms are bad though.

Good luck.

Just got me car aligned yesterday after letting the car settle for 2 weeks after installing the Eibach Pro springs etc. as I mentioned below. The car's ride and handling is excellent / has improved. The other suspension components allowed the alignment guy to get the car back into spec. The extra components will also allow you to adjust camber out of spec for extra agressive handling.
