It depends on how low you go. I installed the Eibach Pro kit and Koni adjustable dampers (best mod for the $$$). There is a very slight neg rear camber but the tire wear is even across both tires. I have not had any problems and have no need for the camber kit yet. but... You really won't know until you try.

how far was your rear camber out ? Mine after installing the same combo was at -2 in when its supposed to be -1 1/8 with a 1/2 in tolerance each way.

I done the camber kits on front & back when I installed the Eibach Pro kit. Here is the post I started back when I done it. Post #39 is the most discriptive of how things turned out. Hope it helps, I'm the only one that done the camber kits that I know of. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ad.php?t=16136

Over all I'm happy with it. But with the wider wheels and tires I do get a little rub straight up in the fender wells on front, but that has nothing to do with the camber kit. I do believe the springs settled a little on front & back, witch the tech at Eibach said they would not. The reason I had called the tech was because the back of the car did not lower but about a 1/2". I made a set of 1/4" spacer to insert above the front spring cups to help with the light rub when I would hit a big dip in the road and it worked fine at first, but the rub is back thats why I think the springs settled, plus I can tell the back tire's are a little closer to the fender now. I need to check into getting thicker set of spring cups for the front.

The front bolts was called an eccentric camber bolt kit for $14 a side. The front wheels are 18"X8.5 with 245/35/18's tire's and the rear wheels are 19"X9.5 with 285/35/19's, both front & rear wheels were a 35mm offset. I also have 10mm hub centric spacers on front and 20mm's on the rear.

I'm at work right now, I done some searching on the net, but couldn't come up with anything. I probably have the bags the bolts came in at home with the OEM bolts in them if you really need the #'s, I've kept all the OEM parts for my car in boxes up stairs in my garage. Did you get 2 or 4 bolts from your dealership? It only requires 1 for each side, the kit included the bolt and 2 washers that have shoulders on them offset to one side.
