Hello, everyone. I'm new to the group AND new to tuning. I have a 2010 Z roadster 6MT with sport pkg. I want to have the Eibach pro-plus kit (springs and sways) installed. I've called a local shop to price part/installation and, of course, plan to call more. The first shop that I called told me that I MUST install the front/rear camber arms when adding the kit. This sounds like absolute bull to me but, as I said, I'm new to tuning. Is this guy right or is he just trying to get more of my money?

If you drop the suspension on the car your wheels are going to have more camber as a result. If you cannot adjust this with a Camber Kit, then your tires will wear out prematurely on the inside, plus handling will be effected due to the tires not gripping the road as they should. Here is the link I just found detailing suspension issues. I would suggest you go through and read up on the effects of suspension adjustments:
Suspension adjustments and how they affect handling

Thanks, Paul. I appreciate the speedy reply. I know all of the basics that you gave, but my question is: Does this particular kit, which lowers the car 1.00"–1.50", create enough negative camber to make the new camber arms necessary/mandatory? I was hoping that someone who has experience with this kit could give me a heads up.

The front camber stays within spec but the caster is slightly out of spec. It's not enough to warrant buying a camber kit but helps with tuning.

The rear camber is most likely going to go past 2 degrees of negative camber and a camber kit is recommended to get back within spec.

Negative camber isn't a bad thing though. It actually aids in handling. Your toe alignment is what is most critical which is adjustable on your car factory.

My suggestion, get the Eibach rear camber bolts for your car and have it all aligned to factory specs. The rear arms are nice but probably aren't needed.
