Suspension question
 
For those of you that have gotten new springs, is camber a problem? Do you need to purchase a camber correction kit when lowering the car?

Camber not a problem generally
 
The camber increases slightly as the car is lowered, but not a lot. My car with the Audi/Eibach springs (about 1.5" below stock) has front camber of 1.3 degrees and rear of 1.8 degrees. This is compared to sport suspension specs of about .8 degrees.

There is a provision for some rear camber adjustment but not front (the front can be "balanced" l/r by shifting a subframe, but not adjusted per se). I have about 10000 miles on Z rated tires with the above camber and see no signs of uneven tire wear.

I recently saw a note saying someone now offers a camber correction kit, but up until that post I had not seen one nor seen a need.

Correct
 
I've got over 40k on my lowered setup. I experience no unusual tire wear. I never even bothered having an alignment done.
