I don't have a preference b/c I haven't bought my camber kit yet, but you don't necessarily have to have it for the front. The guys at my local honda dealer have those aligned perfectly, it's the rear you'll definately want for two reasons; 1) you'll be rocking 2-degrees negative camber in the rear once your springs settle and you have alignment done with your stock suspension, this is rough b/c of excessive inside tire wear, you'll need to rotate your tires every time you change your oil to keep things from getting too bad. 2) I travel interstate atleast 100 miles every other weekend between school and home and me and every one of my friends will attest to the car seeking out the lines in the road much more than normal and this could be prevented with a neutral setup, I mention the highway b/c it's pretty exagerated at 80mph. I know Eibach has a kit and if I wasn't going to throw down for coilovers I figure that's who I'd go with, simply b/c of reputation for dependability. Just a little fyi, but I'm starting to like the ingalls too.

So are you saying that after the springs settle, the camber in the front would not be affected, therfore a camber kit for the front would not be necessary?

Re: what camber kit should i get?

I've been looking into some coilover such as the megans and Ksports and the description says that you can adjust the camber on them. Does this mean that they come with a camber kit? If not, is the mechanism in the coil over that lets you adjust the camber better than a seperate camber kit such as ingalls or spc?
