For the rear camber ... it can sometimes be subjective.

Some people like added camber (out of spec) for better handling or tucking wide tires. Others like to be within factory spec. And still others like to be not only within factory spec, but at at NOMINAL spec.

It would be pretty tough to get a lowered car to NOMINAL camber without a camber kit. IMHO, get the camber kit if you absolutely want the maximum tire life. You can always dial in more camber as needed.

yes he is. the point of this thread is to get some alignment specs with JUST eibach springs - whats the best settings possible basically.

Only way this would be proved if there is some1 running eibachs, and only ran eibachs from the start and can take a pic of tire wear or some neg camber.

Other then that im going to say you dont need camber, until im proved wrong.

Not trying to prove you right or wrong. There has been a lot of debate already on the forum as to when you need the Camber kit. Before I bought mine, I called and talked to SPC and they were kinda wishy-washy. Said I would be marginal with a Pro-kit drop. Then I called and talked to Eibach who said they recommended getting the camber kit (arms and bolts) as I could end up being marginal and all the installs they had on file for G37 were with the camber kits.

So it came down to I was just lazy and preferred to install springs and camber kits at once, do an alignment once and be done. And it gave me more room if I wanted to go lower, etc.
