I haven't heard from the guy with Eibachs. His must have worked out pretty good but they don't drop the car as much.

yeah I had a chance to get some new eibachs on a group buy but i didn't think the drop was worth it. I really like h&r. Do you think I will need front or rear camber kit?

I'm fine with the 1" front and .5" rear on eibachs.

Would I be able to see a difference on a non nismo?

Did you buy camber kit for your car and is it hard to install

I'm pretty sure clemsonwill has camber kit because in his signature it says SPC. Idk if thats front, rear, or both though.

With either sprint or H&R you are going to probably want camber arms in the rear if you want to get back to stock settings. Some have gotten it close without them. They are just going to have a slight bit of camber wear.

I have rear camber arms (no front) and no it's not hard to install.

I kinda want to go h&r springs and get rear camber kit with my new wheels. My wheels are 19x9.5 and 255 tires front. 19x11 and 305 tires rear.


Ps every shop wants 400-500 install. :( I can't do that right now. Wish I could do it myself but I want it done right.

Is 4-500 just for install of the springs and camber arms? That seems high. If you have a lift and spring compressor, it should not take more than 2.5 hours. The rears take 5 minutes each.

My spring compressor wasn't strong enough for the fronts so we had to take the front strut and spring to a shop so they could swap the springs out. Only cost $50 each time. If you can find a shop that is willing to do it then this is the way to go. Just make sure you know the shop does good work and they get everything back together correctly.

Sounds good will. I checked on z1 and SPC rear camber is $88 each side so $176 total. That sound right for everything I need? Also, do u think that my wheels/tires would rub with h&r springs? 19x9.5 255 front and 19x11 305 rear.

Yes, make sure the shop knows what they're doing. Or your car will sit in your buddy's driveway for a week. Right, Will? Haha

What are the offsets? I have 19x9.5 +22 with 265s and 10.5 +12 305s. Only rubbing i had was this little bump in the front fender lining. The tires wore it done and I have no issues now. So I'm thinking you will be fine given your rear offset isn't too low.

Thanks man.
Specs on my wheels: 19x9.5 +20 255/35/19

Think I'll be ok on h&r with rear camber?
