Ok, so i finally lowered my car all the way (coupe eibach kit) and i seem to be cambering a bit in the rear. This isn't adjustable from what i have read, but i think i need one.

First though, i shouldn't need a front camber kit, should i? It doesnt seem to be cambering much at all.

How hard are they to install? And when i put my stock **** on next fall, do i leave it on or raise it up?

I really wanted to avoid this, but i don't want to eat the **** out of my tires when id rive to Florida in two months.

If this is a bigger pain in the *** than i wanna deal will, i'll probably just get the regular sedan eibach kit and screw this camber stuff. I am such a practical person (and actually use my sedan as a sedan) so i am not sure about this yet LOL i am very indecisive.

well, you might be able to get away of not having a camber kit if you get a really nice and precise toe alignment. Don't go to those places where it takes them like 10 minutes or less. Toe will eat up a tire faster than camber. But if you don't like the negative camber looks, then you'll definitely should get a kit.

I would get a camber kit at least for the rear. You can have your alignment shop adjust your front toe-in to compensate for the camber in front.

But in the rear you're limited to what they can do with out a kit.

SPC seems to be the general consensus here but I prefer SPL

I am not really concerned about the front, and i dont mind the camber look (actually looks kinda badass) i am just concerned about more **** to take off and deal with alter on down the road. I also hear you gotta drill to install it???? i dont know.

you have to round out the holes for the toe bolts. its not really an issue cause it wont affect anything if you put it back to stock.

BUT

the range of adustment is far enough to leave them installed.

its relatively simple.

both kits come with a template for the holes. put the template up to the hole, color it in with a sharpie, round it out with a carbide bit and you're done.

The actual install is easy as hell....two bolts and you're done!

So you just round it out with a drill?

yeah but you need the right bit for it. I believe the material of the bit is Tungsten Carbide? (someone hopefully will chime in)

If you want to have the most adjustment, I'd recommend that

Only $108? I thought they were closer to $200...

it's more like elongating the hole, not increasing the diameter or anything if that makes any sense. It just offers more adjustment for lowered Gs. I heard that a drop such as the 350z Stechs and lower, needs the elongated hole for extra adjustment. Also, you only run out of toe adjustment if you straighten your camber back...but if you were to leave your negative camber alone, there should still be enough toe adjustment and will not need any elongating of the toe hole.

I did mine myself, the only pain about it is that the coupe's exhaust was making it a tight space to work with, I could barely move my dremel around.

$108 each side I believe.

Some of the vendors here have them for less. I got mine from THMotorsports
