i think should be ok. i know other members are on lower springs than eibach on oem shocks. keep in mind, the oem shocks will probbaly go faster though.

how long should we expect the oem shocks to last anyway? prokit seems like a conservative drop.

So my question is, what have any of you experienced on the board that will give you the Max Lowering Height while maintaining minimal camber wear.

Max Drop while maintaining perfect camber.

Thank you!
Did you lower your car yet?

Does this camber issue with lowering pass 1.25 inch affect rides with stock 16inch rims?
