Just a little update:
The car corners better because the springs are firmer and car sits lower. I can make right turns at a faster speed and not get the same tire chirps or under steer as I did before. Left wide turns are also tighter and I can go faster than before.
The freeway ride is worse, because the car kind of floats more over road undulation. I think this is because the stock dampers are not letting the car settle down with the firmer springs so the car feels more floaty/bouncy.

So the springs did settle a bit more.
I'm at 27 in the front, 26 3/4 in the back.
My little Iphone App Clinometer is measuring my camber at -3.2 in the front (was -1.9 at the shop day 1) and -3 in the rear (-2 at the shop day 1). I'm not liking the front camber, so I may still order the front Camber arms.
Anyone care to chime in?

Sorry I missed your question. I went to Lou at Amplified for the KW V3 purchase and install. I do not have a camber kit. I am at about the same height you are with 26 7/8 in front and 27 in the back, if I recall correctly. With that drop I am running -1.7 and -1.4 camber in front and -1.8 on both sides in the back.

I'm not sure why my fronts look more inward. I'm not that low. I think I'll have the alignment checked again before spending the money on camber kits.
Thanks

I ordered my eibach pro kit this week with rear cambers. I should get it next week due to the fact that I live in UAE. I was told by our local experts that I may not need front, but rear for sure. I guess every car is little different... I'll see when I get mine... Pictures will soon to follow...
