== Eibach Rear Camber Kit ==

Alright, looking for some help from you lowered sedan guys out there.
I am currently looking to purchase a rear camber kit to go with my H&R sport springs for my 08 sedan.

The kit that I am interested in is the Eibach 5.72260K Pro-alignment kit. I know that most of you guys go with the SPC camber kit, and not too many guys have tried out the Eibach kit.

So for the guys who tried out the Eibach kit..

- Were you able to correct your rear camber within spec?
- Does this kit include toe bolts for toe adjustment as well?
- Would you recommend this kit over the SPC?


I just wanted to hear some feedbacks for anyone who has tried out this kit for our 2nd gen sedans.

Thanks in advance!

I guess you are unaware that Eibach distibutes the SPC kit.

When you buy from Eibach, you get an SPC kit.

I am aware that SPC makes Eibach kits. But I thought that although SPC makes Eibach, there are 2 separate kits available.. one from SPC and one from Eibach, NO?

Maybe I am misinformed.. but this is the kit I am looking at from ebay.. would this work??

I am 100% sure that is a stock picture (which does not resemble the parts you will get). SPC designed the rear arm with input from Eibach who in turn used my car for fitting.

SPC = Eibach on both front and rear alignment kits.

Rear arm installed:

Thanks Terry for the picture and the info.

Have you checked out the ebay link that I posted above? Do you think that is the correct part which would include both the rear control arms and the toe bolts?

I don't want to just order the part and end up getting just the toe bolt kit.
I have to admit the price is really good.

hmm, I don't think my Eibach rear camber kit looked like that. The kit is made by SPC, so if you take a look at a SPC rear camber kit, that what it looks like. It came with 2 toe bolts also, and I didn't need to install the toe bolts because the oem has enough room for toe adjustment.

Yes, I believe the part number on ebay is correct for what you want.

5.72260K = Rear camber arm / toe bolt kit
7.72265K = Rear toe bolt only kit

Please verify with Eibach to be certain.

SPC and Eibach the only ones that offer a rear camber kit for our sedans?

I was also told Ichiba makes a kit for our sedans.. anyone have the Ichiba's?

Terry, did you have to grind anything with the Eibach kit? I'm guessing that's an affirmative, seeing as it's basically an SPC. And i've heard you have to grind/expand the bolt hole a little.

If you did grind, did you do anything to the exposed bare metal afterwards?

Thanks.

Yes, the hole needed to be elongated. The Tech at Eibach did my installation. They did not paint it or anything.

Should you decide or need to use the toe bolts, the hole for the toe bolt needs to be slightly elongated:
