Eibach Pro-Line for 09 Sedan
#16
Btw the new 09 springs can also be used on the AWD correct?, I might be able to return the ones I purchased and get the other models since they are not even open, should I change the pro kit alignment kit as well I noticed it has a different part number?
The one I have right now is 5.72260K (REAR ARM +/-4. DEG. CAMBER, +/-3. DEG. TOE ADJUSTMENTREAR ARM +/-4. DEG. CAMBER, +/-3. DEG. TOE ADJUSTMENT), for this ones 5.72130K (Front +/-2.5 deg. of camber; +/-1.0 deg. caster)?.

The parts you listed are the current rear camber/toe set that is currently available (5.72260K), and I think the front kit that is coming out now (5.72130K--SPC just released it). At this point it is all speculation about what will work on the 09 (especially the AWD). I will confirm if the current rear camber kit will work on the 09 tomorrow when I get my alignment done (I have 5.72260K).

I got my alignment done at Cobb Tuning today, and I talked with them about the Eibach springs and camber arms for their feedback. They said they found no issues when doing my alignment. The 07-08 Eibach (SPC) rear camber arms will work on the 09 sedan without issue. They obviously did not see any issues in running this setup. The rear alignment is right where we wanted it. The front of my 09 is a lot lower than it is on the 07-08 sedan.
In regards to the X, it sounds like anything Eibach puts out should work. This includes the front A-arm kit that SPC (and Eibach eventually) is putting out. In looking at some pics, and looking around here, the big difference is in the front shock (it has arms or forks that have to go around the front axel). I have not looked at the rear suspension on the X too much, but the springs, camber arms, and toe adjustment should be the same. So in theory, the parts you listed above should work on the X (this would really mean either the 08 or 09 springs could work, but if you can wait for the 09's you probably should).
I am off to get my wheels installed. If everything works out, I should have some updated pics later today or tomorrow. I will post the final pics, alignment specs, etc. in a thread I have going in the Pictures section. I will post a link here when I get it done if anyone is interested.
I must add, thanks for everyone's feedback in the various threads that this is being discussed (I started a thread in the Tech section, and it is being discussed in a thread on my37.com). I was a little nervous being the first to run this combo of parts, but the feedback helped!!!
