Looks really good, I just went the mild Eibach route but still want to go lower but at the same time I don't want to run a camber kit up front. You running camber kit front and rear?

I didn't run a camber kit when I had H&R's. My camber was about 2.9 up front and 3.2 in the rear.

Looking good.. Why did you go with off name wheel spacer? You may want to change over to H&R spacers.. They are the best out there. The worst thing that could happen is your wheel breaks off and goes flying off.

Don't ever go cheap on wheel spacers and tires!

Thanks for the comments. No camber kits yet. My spacers seem to be fine, I will keep a close eye on them.

How was your tire wear overtime? I'm afraid to run camber like that with mine being daily driven.

^ INVEST IN A FRONT CAMBER CONTROL ARM BRO......Even though its not so much camber -vs- toe that chews up your tires, its still gonna wear them out very quickly with negative camber like that

Thanks Topher. I have the rear camber kit, but I'm only dropped on Eibachs so I believe I'm good. Need to get my car on the alignment rack though.

Yeah, I'd say get a camber kit. My rears went out at like 10k miles. I could've rotated them, but there was a nail in one, so I just bought a new set for the rear. I had my fronts on for about 17k, and while the the camber wear was obvious, I could've rotated the tires and kept driving for another 5-10k miles, pretty safely. Obviously I wouldn't be able to get much performance out of them, but for a DD, they were fine.

But again, for maximum tire life, just get a camber kit and adjust to a street-able spec, which is under -2.
