I just picked up a set of Eibach Pro-Kits and KYB AGX's for my 91' AWD. I realize that the Pro-kits only drop the car about 1", which isn't nearly as drastic as the sportlines. How many of you are using a camber kit on your 1G with the above setup? For those of you not using a camber kit, do you notice excessive tire wear at all? Basically, I'm trying to get opinions on whether or not to pick a camber kit up, or use the money for other things.
 
I have that setup on my '90 GSX. When I did the alignment after installing everything I couldn't get the rear camber into spec. I already had a camber kit on the front.
The rear camber was way out and trashed my tires. I bought an Ingalls kit, but then realized that the Energy Suspension poly bushings don't work with the arms, so I ended up buying the Whiteline kit. The car has been in storage all winter, and I have yet to realign it. Plus I have new rims and tires on the way, so I'll just wait until I get them.

Yeah, I looked at the Ingalls kit for the rear, but the cheapest I found was $170 on e-bay. The car is just a weekend toy, and I have no intentions in AutoX or anything, besides an occasional trip down the 1/4 mile. I'm just pondering on whether or not the $170 is worth it or if I should save my money.
 
I have the Eibach pro-kit and AGX's in my 1g. When they were installed, my shop also did and alignment and everything came into spec perfectly without a camber kit. Since then(1yr ago) I had a front lower ball joint replaced(2 weeks ago) and needed another alignment, the rear was still in spec. You can get the camber kit if you want but I don't think it is needed for the Eibach Pro-kit in general.
