Those with Eibach Pro Kits please advise

I have searched but cant find what Im looking for here....

Just finishing up an entire suspension rebuild on my 98 GSX. I installed the eibach pro kit springs and an ingalls rear camber kit. Does anyone know how many (if any) of the washers I should install with this setup? Or should only the upper control arm brackets with the eccentric bolts from the kit be required??

Id like to have it set up right so the alignment shop can do their thing right the first time around day after tomorrow.

Thanks for any help!

Oh one other thing. I also am unsure of whether or not I need the front camber kit for this setup. I have searched thoroughlly and have found posts that say yes and others that say its not needed???

Front camber kit is no needed, but is recommended, more for tire wear. Lowering your gsx is gonna change front camber -.75 to -1.0 deg but that much can be offset by a little extra toe. I got an eibach sportline on the wifes car and the front is still in spec (barely) rear is way negative. If you do the front camber kit dont instal the eccentric bushings, mostly ### theyre miserable to adjust and dont give much adjustment, use the adjustable ball joints or better way is adjustable control arm. Hope that helps at least some. I havent put any of the washers in before and Ive installed and aligned a lot of these cars.

Thanks for the feedback! Just got her out of the alignment shop and all is good with only the rear camber kit. Handles like a dream with the illuminas and the pro kit as well as the HR sway bars. MUCH better than the 2+ inch drop the prior owner had on the car!
