Wannabe's second half, progression of my 05 LS Sedan.
Well, the springs i went with are the Eibach Pro Kit for the G coupe (nothing insanely aggressive) and normally for the coupes, you don't need a camber kit with that drop.
Maybe its just me, and im not used to seeing any camber (i guess now that i look at it, it really isnt THAT bad) but who knows. I wish i could get some G folk up in there to see my car. haha.

I'm lowering mine next weekend on H-Techs (I have an X). The drop isn't insane, I think it'll end up being 1.4, 1.9 (hopefully).
But I still bought a rear camber bolt kit from SPC just in case they end up needing it for alignment. $50 is a small price to pay for a bit of insurance.

It's the camber bolt kit for the moderate drop.
For a lower drop, you'll need the full kit with the arm links and everything.
Now, I don't think I'll need it, but if I do - I have it.

You most likely need a rear camber kit. I too was trying to avoid getting one and save money hoping it'd be good enough after alignment. I have -2.5 degrees of camber on one side and -2.8 on the other. Guy said when he tried correcting the rear the front would go off. Now I need to get a rear camber kit with toe bolts ($130) plus labor on the camber kit and cost of alignment again ($50) my rear does look pretty low though with the springs
your might have your information CONFUSED.
The "REAR KIT " from SPC is a CAMBER ARM and a TOE BOLT. I can see the Toe BOLT being about $50. sounds very right. The camber arm runs about $100-135.
So for $50 you either got the TOE bolts NEW or one hell of a deal if you got the whole kit. Because kits new run about $175.
You need both because when you adjust toe, camber is moved just a side-effect and vice versa. Camber causes feathering wear but Toe will kill tires the fastest.

Guess I can just buy the arms later if I need it.
BUY THE KIT ONLY for the rears. It is Sub $200 shipped thru EVERY vendor we have on this site that carries them.
SPC has been the one with the most solid reviews least for the REAR. Yea there are other wanna be, i think eibach is a rebadged one for maybe $5-10 less. Then we got some brands that do just as good or so they claim. i rather stick with SPC because you know what your getting. plus its not a HUGE amount of price.
I'm not linking you because just go to vendor classifed section and search for SPC rear camber KIT. And make sure its the ARM and BOLT. The bolt does nothing for you without the arm. So guys run just arm because they dont want to dremel a bit for the bolt but its not that hard.

^ yea Janik you will have to elogate the hole for the toe bolt. I never done it but it doesn't look to bad.
Here is a good how to that i found awhile back.
