Help! Stillen H&R Spacer Problem!

No, you don't need a camber kit for stock height. Even when lowered by 1 inch or less, you may not need a camber kit unless there is a problem with adjusting the alignment back to factory spec.

i take exception to the second part of that statement, the eibach springs (which apparently are conservative drops) knocked my rear wheels well out of alignment when i had a 20mm spacer stuck on them. if you lower the car, get the camber kit.

Agreed. Also, I would definitely suggest lowering the car if you get spacers.

You noticed, in my statement I said "1 inch or less" and "may need", not "don't need". I've read differing reports on this forum, but I agree with what you said; most people needed the rear camber kit when lowered.
