Eibach Springs

[boricua721m]

I am interested in lowering my ep... im probably going to go with eibach sportlines.... i was just wondering if i also need to purchase a camber kit...

need to... no... should... yes!

camber kits help save the your tires, give you better taction, and its always a good idea.

SPC full camber kit for 135 shipped i believe.

might be worth it, espacially if your putting Z/Y rated tires on (which i suggest anyways, youll be amazed at the difference!)

thanx... prob. going to buy the camber kit thn

with the sportlines i ended up with less than 1 degree of negative camber in the front, but -1.4/-1.7 in the rear, and it seems like this is what most people's ends up as with the sportlines, so ya, definately get the camber kit (if you care about your tires)

If you go with Spoon progressive you will not need a camber kit and you will have an amazing setup... ;)

Eibach pro-kit's would never require a camber kit, I have run them for over a year now and the drop is type-R. I am running the widest tires (235's) and have no issues in the corners or moderate potholes. Sportlines are deeper and I would get the camber kit for them and there is no way you would be able to run the width I have. If you want your showa shocks (we have the same shocks as the type-R) to live then put them on the pro-kits. I have about 1.5 finger gap in the rear and 2 finger in the front. No squeeks or noise or bounce out of them from day one. They are solid. If you want looks and longevity with a simple spring swap, get the pro-kits. Otherwise you are looking at a complete coilover kit.;)

how much would a eibach prokit go for?

It really does not matter who you do buy from, save price.

Here is a link to a comparison test of stock BMW vs. Eibach vs. H&R springs, very tight competition.

Pro-Kit: $189.11
Sportline: $171.92

These are more than likely the cheapest you'll find them (as is just about everything at ultrarev), and yes, those prices are right, the Sportlines are cheaper than the Pro-Kit's.
