Default Anyone with Prodrive springs and Eibach alignment kit?

I was just wondering if anyone is using the eibach alignment kit With their prodrive springs and if it worked ok. Reason being some people say it does not provide enough adjustability but the prodrive springs and hardly a drop. Also did you use a kit on the front and back or just the front, or didnt need the alighnment kit at all? THANKS!!

Whether you need it or not depends entirely on what alignment spec you are trying to achieve. AFAIK you won't have any trouble getting within _factory_ specs without, if that's what you mean.

I was going for the specs recamended by prodrive.
Prodrive Alignment Specs. Prodrive suggests aligning the car to the following settings with the new springs:

Front
Camber 1° 15"
Tracking 0° 02" (0.2mm) toe in each wheel

Rear
Tracking 0° 01" (0.1mm) toe in each wheel

AFAIK you should be able to achieve that. The stock front camber adjustment typically should get you at least -1° 15"... and as there is no rear camber spec you won't need a rear camber kit

BTW make sure your alignment tech understands it's MINUS 1° 15" (I know I know - stranger things have happened)

FWIW I don't think those toe-in values are *quite* what Prodrive recommends:

A lot of people here just go for zero toe all around.

Post #16 here

Honestly though, don't obsess too much. For your purposes, anything around -1 degree front camber per side, and zero toe or thereabouts, should do the job. I'm no expert but there's countless threads from gurus and specialists on the subject. There's even an Alignment Sticky right at the top of this forum.

I'm running Prodrives and got -1.5 camber front, -1.1 rear with 0 toe (front and back). This is with the request to the alignment guy (max out the neg front camber). No aftermarket camber bolts used.

Running a rear Cusco swaybar full stiff, 38-39 cold front and 35-38 cold psi rear and I still plow like a pig driving a tractor on Hankook RS-2s. Street pressures are 36 front and 34 rear.

-1.5 front -1.1 rear 0 toe all around
cusco rear swaybar
hankook RS-2

only difference is that i needed camber bolts on the rear to acheive -1.1, without bolts the rear was static at -1.4
