Camber Kit for Lowering
This thread is NOT to dispute camber/caster issues while lowering a vehicle.
If I buy the eibach camber kit, do I need to buy 4 (1 for each wheel) or just 1 (a whole vehicle) ?
Thanks.
Edit: I purchased the Eibach Pro Kit lowering kit, for reference.

You probably don't really need it at all to be honest, unless you do competitive driving. I'm sure the camber kit is just cam-bolts for the struts.
I have them (the Ingalls brand ones) on my beretta so I can get maximum adjustability.

Nick, you can just a take a dremel tool and slot the upper hole in your stock shock absorber.... if you keep the original ones... the prokit is not an agressive drop and you don't need to buy alignement kit
01OldsAleroGt..you dont need them because the holes on the GR2 are slotted and it gives enough play to get it aligned properly...

How deep does it need to be slotted? |

Nick, the more you can slot it is the best, like that it'll give you a wider adjustement... but do not remove too much material, keep at least 3/8in of metal so the shock stay strong where it'll be bolted
I don't know how much the sprint springs drop the car... but I don't think so...
I know for a fact that the eibach prokit isn't too low to need camber bolt, I had them before and I aligned my car without camber bolt and everything was perfect

I'll probably get one to be on the safe side, same with new strut mounts it never hurts to have all the important stuff.

Just wondering, Im probably getting the wheels by the end of this summer, and to be on the safe side (tire wear-wise) I am getting the camber kit. The thing I need to know though, is if you need it for all 4 tires, or just the two fronts?

So... Do you need camber kits for just the front, or front and back?

The justification, if you read the thread, is that none were required.
