eibach camber kits

does anyone know if their kits are good. im assuming they are since eibach is a reputable company but i haven't heard of any 7thgenner having one since most use SPC or Ingalls. Can anyone give me more info on these ?

Here's a link to where i saw them: http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/e...kits/5.84580k/

thanks

^ curious too

Another question - do the Sportlines come with Eibach's Camber kit? As per TrueHonda's site
"Sportline engineers realized that when you are lowering your car for the extreme, the camber and caster of the car can be adversely affected. Decreasing tire contact patch and effecting tire life and cornering ability. That is why only Sportline offers alignment hardware kits especially for your car. This will remedy the problems of tire wear and limited tire contact patch."

i havent heard of anyone using them. If its 90 for all four then its a great price though! And no, sportlines do not come with a camber kit. That just means that in addition to making the springs they offer the alignment kits since they realize you should need one and definetly should get one when lowering your car.

Ah I see, just misread it.

Comparing the Eibach to the SPC, the fronts are both for +/- 1.75 but the rears are +6/-4 for SPC and +/- .75 for Eibach. Is this because the SPC are control arm replacements, and therefore more reliable?

So the range of adjustment for the SPC is greater than the eibach. Which is good if you plan on lowering your car very much. I dont think you have an option for the front, all we can use are the bolts.

What arm? The front camber is set by two bolts that go through your strut/knuckle. All a front camber kit is, is a slightly skinnier or tapered bolt.

FYI, SPC is the OEM for the Eibach kits. Therefore, the Eibach kits are identical to the SPC kits because they ARE the SPC kits. Hope this helps.

Whichever you can get a better price on. They are both made by SPC.
