eibach 1.4 inch drop, camber needed?

i just installed the 1.4 inch drop eibach springs, its a nice ride, realy nice after i got it realigned, i heard that i would not need a camber kit unless i went lower than a 1.5 inch drop, is this tru? has anyone else installed the sportline springs, if so how did it turn out for you?

So all they aligned was the toe I assume since they cant really align the camber setting without kits installed. I have the Eibach Sportlines(sames as yours I assume) and my rear tires were cambered in slightly so I installed a SPC kit.

I have the eibach pro-kit (1" drop) & my front camber is fine.. but my rear was slightly off spec at around -1.8 (i think) but anyhow I can definately see the wear on the rear tire, its not a lot but its still there. so my suggestion is you may need at least a rear camber kit

SPC makes camber kits for our cars front & rear http://www.spcperformance.com/

and you can buy here for cheap http://www.danscreations.com/spc/camberkits.html

& thier may be a group buy on the SPC still?

Both the front and rear kits are easy to install with simple hand tools. Just make sure that you take it in for an alignment soon after.
