thank you for looking...

I bought KYB AGX's and Im going to buy sportline ebich (SP?) springs and lower the car...

My question is how much camber will i be off?

Is it something i can adjust normally without camber kits?

I have 17's on the car if it matters...
 
With the sportlines, you'll NEED camber kits. The the pro kit, you can probably get away with just the rear.
 
whats the lowering difference in the both of them?

which one goes lower/rides better?

if i bring the car to a shop to install the shocks/springs how much u think they would charge and what all would i need to order to get a camber kit?
 
Well, I'm not sure with your setup, but I lowered my car with Tokico Blues and shocks, and my camber in the rear was off 2 degrees, but not off at all in the front. Save your self the time and trouble, and go ahead and get the camber kit. I hate eating 18 inch tires. :(
 
Do you think that my front will be off bad with the kyb agx's?
Also what springs should i go with if i want about a 1 1/2 drop?

We actually have "some" bad roads around here and i was wanting a drop just go get rid of this crap called "wheel-gap"...
Should i go with a pro kit or sport?
 
Eibach Pro Kit Springs
We strongly recommend purchasing a quality shock absorber along with these springs. They are approximately 20% stiffer than stock. The purpose of the shock is to control the spring energy. Get more spring & you need more shock. If you are on a budget and can't afford both, get shocks only for better handling. If your only purpose is to get all the chicks & look cool with a lousy ride, get springs only

This is about all they had...
If you got any more info bring it please!
 
Pro Kit dosent lower as low as the other springs correct?

Also the roads are fairly bad here and they do require me to dodge some holes already before being lowered.

Any more info bro?

I emailed mike at RRE and he said that the prokit with the agx's i got and a camber kit is what i would be most happy with...
 
98 RedGS, if you haven't purchased you springs yet, I have a set of Eibach Sportlines that I took off about 2 months ago. They only had about 5,000 miles on them. I went with the Pro-Kits because I needed some extra fender gap because my 18's were close to rubbing in the back. If you decide to go with the sportlines, I'll sell them for around $120.
 
I'd go ahead with atleast a 2 degree camber kit for front and rear. You can actually put one together with simple parts from Home depot for about $5 for the rear. It's simply a matter of spacing the control arm and using longer bolts to compensate.

Check this link out:

I used very large nuts as spacers instead of a stack of washers. Whatever you use though, make sure it's around 1/2". And after you install everything, be sure to get a 4-wheel alignment.
