I'm planning to get Eibach Sportline springs... will i need to get a camber kit or will a regular allignment be sufficient after install?
 
You will not be within oem specs with the sportlines. Some people have done camber kits and others haven't. All depends on how much you care about tire wear or negative camber.

I definitely want even treadwear and zero camber (if possible).
 
Some negative camber is normal from the factory to help handling. But yes, you'll need camber arms/bolts if you want to get it within oem specs.
 
The rear camber will be very close to -2.0 degrees with the Sportlines. Stock is closer to -0.5 degrees.
 
It's personal preference but I would suggest getting them. What wheels are you trying to run? It may be necessary to dial in some negative camber to fit the wheels if you want to run something very wide. Doing fender work is one way to avoid running excess camber though.

What is the overall setup you are trying to run?

The OP did mention that he wants to keep a factory spec alignment. A change in camber angle is more significant on the rear wheels than the front with that type of drop.

I plan on getting a set of SSR GTV02's.

Nice looking wheel. Got a particular size in mind?

what width do you recommend? i don't want to stick out of the fender. what width are the rims on the '14 stock wheels?

haha... thanks bro, but far from a baller. gotta get entry-level rims because i can't afford forged or 3 piece wheels.

as far as size goes, i was thinking 18's.

SSRs are nowhere near entry level. :giggle:

The stock 18s are 7.5" wide, I believe. If you stick with the 45mm offset, you can run 8" wide wheels.
 
Yea, an 8 or 8.5 with a reasonable, +40/+45, offset should work with a wide range of tires.

Thanks bro... That's how much of a rookie i am. It's still a lot of money, but I will say this, $300+ /wheel for non-forgeed wheels is still better than $600-$700/wheel for forged.
