Do i really need a camber kit with eibach sportlines?

[mondojackal]

You need to search, either way just get a camber kit and do it the right way!
I have sportlines and a camber kit because its NEEDED otherwise you will be buying tires too often, the camber kit pays for itself right there.

lies, lies, lies...i have sportlines, and i dont have a camber kit...the guy at the tire store could get mine where it needed to be without a camber kit

keep in mind that the tires will last longer if they are properly rotated, that can suck the life out of tires faster than any camber wear...

Funny thing is I have sportlines to, and when I first had them installed without a camber kit the inside of the tires would wear like no other. Think about it its common sense wouldnt you rather pay some money get the camber kit and never have to worry about it again? And rotating the tires will not prevent tire wear due to bad camber angle because either way you rotate the tires the wear will always be in the inside tire! So please dont say lies lies lies when Im telling the truth, yes I said that it is needed, thats my opinion, but I also stated in my first post that if he didnt didnt get it he would be getting bad tire wear.

there are people with sportlines, or spring/strut combos that give a lower drop than sportlines, or coilovers that give a lower drop than sportlines... and they don't have camber kits, and they don't have problems with premature tire wear.

the only way to try and prove that the uneven tire wear is from camber is to get an aligment before installing anything new, and checking the specs on both camber and toe. if the toe is perfect, than it can be attributed to camber. otherwise, it's toe and/or camber and toe.

i've never run a camber kit with any of the suspension set ups i've had, or currently have. i've never had a problem with premature tire wear.

a camber kit is not a necessity. some people choose to run them, but it's not a necessity.

I know what you mean uncle el, and I do agree that it is a choice to run a camber kit, however just in this thread alone there are many people who like me do have a camber problem. And as soon as I installed my ingalls kit I have had near perfect tire wear.

Kinda sounds like your looking for the cheapest way to drop the car...That's what I did and I ate threw two sets of tires and caused nothing but problems because i went the cheap and now im back on factory suspension...Next time around im going to shell out watever it takes to do it right there is no substitute

same thing here... went through my dunlops on maybe, 10,000 miles this summer?

my camber kit is in the mail

]i ate through a set of bridgestone potenza's in one season on sportlines without a camber kit.

definately recommended.

its weird how i needed a camber kit for my prokits =/
