Please try a search before making a new thread. There are several threads on this topic already.

Camber is not adjustable on the FE1 suspensions (base, LS, LT models) Cam bolt adjusters will not fit, nor are they needed.

I have Eibach Pro-kit springs and my Camber was fine. The Toe will need adjusting.

If you ever change out your struts (to say the FE5 model), then the camber kit can work, but I still don't think it's needed.

The downside is you simply won't be able to use them. It would be a waste of money. The cam bolts wont fit the struts. My car was aligned to factory stock specs per the Eibach instructions after my installation. I have normal tire wear.

So far, my only long term issue is the first strut compression of the day (after the car has sat overnight) makes the struts creak loudly. After that first bump however, they are quiet.
