from what i hear you will more than likely need both a front and a rear camber kit with that set of springs.. the front will probably not been too bad, but better safe then sorry i guess. but me i like running the insides of my tires bald.. }>

Same springs i have, and needed both front and rear to get my camber in factory specs. The rear was way off, but the 15 dollar camber mod will just about put it back into spec, maybe a few more washers might be needed, just do the 4, and get an alignment. My fronts were off pretty good, and i needed about +1.25 degrees of camber to get the fronts back into spec. You don't have to do any camber correction, but you WILL go through your tires VERY quickly..not to mention bad handleing and steering feel..Best thing to do is to install the springs with the rear camber mod done, and let the springs settle for 2 or 3 days. Then get the car up on an alignment rack and see exactly where your camber is at. Once you get some readings, you can decide how much and what front camber kit you will need. I personally have the ingalls front kit, and the 15 dollar mod for the rears, but needed a few more washers on one side. Now my alignment is in factory spec.

>even with a 1.4 in the rear i will need camber correction?
Yep, the 15 dollar mod on the mainpage will do just fine. After spring settle, get the car on an alignment rack, and see exactly where your camber is at. The rear will always have more negative camber than the front, even with totally equal drops. The rear suspension is just different than the front, and its geometry makes the camber worse with even mild drops..

I have a question about these springs too. What the heck is the bump stop? It says I have to grind it .6" in the front. Do I have to grind the bump stop If I use aftermarket shocks/struts?

Yes - Cut the Front Bumpstop .6" It's simple - I did mine with a pair of scissors. Make sure you but from the bottom end (Smaller End) Well at least the instructions for my Eibach Pro-Kit Springs for my 98 Eclipse Spyder said so. (Cut 20mm = .75" Front, Rear=NA)
Just follow your instruction sheet and it's real easy to cut.
