I know if i get the Eibach pro kit i wont get major camber wear on my tires right. However if i get the road magnets will i get alot of camber where i would have to replace my tires more than stock springs. I have always had eibach on all my cars and i never had premature tire wear. Please let me know im looking to order before the shipping time is past for today. Thanks!
 
I've been rollin on a set of the road magnets since my car had like 1000 miles on it. I only have about six thousand now...which isn't much. But I rotated my tires already and I haven't had any abnormal tire wear. Personally I would get the Eibach setup. It was specifically designed for the 9th gen. Arm0gedd0n has the Eibach setup, I think that's the way to go.

Yes sir, the silver sedan is the eibach kit with front and rear sway bars.
 
I checked that link hes saying its the eibach sportlines??? any info or was that a mistake
 
those are the springs for the SI. The drop on the non-si prokit is a different spring rate/drop.

eibach prokit
SI drop = 1.2/1.2" front/rear
non-si drop = 1.0"/.7" front/rear
 
I see so nobody has this drop yet right? from what it looks like i guess ill be the first i hope it becomes lower than 1.0 0.7 drop when its settled cause seems like ill still have a major gap. i have like a 3.75 in gap up front and 2.25 gap in rear from where the car is standing thats huge it coulbe be cause the floor is uneven.
 
I would not be expecting it to lower more than what they advertise, unless you mean years down the road? If you want something lower... and want springs now, I'd look at 8th spring options. Most have said you can add 1/4 inch to the what the drop advertises for the 8th. So if it says it drops 1" on the 8th, it'll be more like 1.25" on the 9th.
 
im going to look into this ut i should have any problems with the 8th gen right like mechanical problems?
 
no mechanical problems, but you'll need the rear upper isolators from the 8th gen.
 
Hmm ok ill see if i can buy a set of 8th gen from discounttiredirect
 
I have Road magnets. The front camber and toe is within Honda spec, the rear camber is -1.5 and the toe is in spec. You won't get much tire wear. RM provides the insulators, and you can get custom colors.

I haven't scraped anything and I drive up a loading dock ramp to work. There's a coupon code for them that gives you 10% off but I forgot what it was. The custom coating was $30 extra and took about a week.
 
I have the sportline kit and not the Pro Kit; which is a 2 inch drop front and back, you can call Eibach and pre-order the Sportline Kit, they're not out yet but should be out by the end of September.

Here's some information regarding my camber setting:

The front camber with the sportline spring was about -0.2 degrees. This is well within specification by Honda (-0.57 max). Front caster is 5.8 deg. (5.87 max per Honda). Front toe is adjusted to factory spec at 0 deg. You do not need the camber bolts, but the camber bolts are available if you want to make adjustments.

The rear camber is -1.2 (-1.37 max per Honda). We have the rear camber arms installed. This is required. Rear toe is adjusted to 2mm total, per Honda spec.
