well for me on the 09's i wanted some camber, because the offset is so high. all the regular honda wheels stuck out even a 16x7 +45 stuck out a little, so now that it is lowered and has a little camber i can run +45 and up. so for the whole camber question, yes it added camber but not too much, but just enough to where i can run some lower offsets, and i havn't had them long enough to see what it is doing to my tread.

You`ll be fine with up to about 2 deg of camber in the front on a street car with the toe set correctly...

Toe is what usually kills tires if it`s not set correctly

BTW cat`t wait for wheels on that drop it`s going to look sick!!

eibach is still in the R & D phase on developing their suspension kits for the GE, details will be released accordingly!

have you thought about tanabe?

well, i had called tanabe and they said it would be another 4 to 6 months before the R&D would be over, and then 2 to 3 months before parts would go out? the then i had to resort to japan, lol

Im looking at dropping my car soon. Of those that you noted above, which one will drop my car the "least." I dont want to get too aggressive... maybe 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch. Just enough to be noticeable.
