Thanks for your concern the rims I want Are new for 2012 can't pre-order them until December. However winter is here and I have no plans to modify the factory rims because I'm f___lazy lol!

can't decide if I want springs or coilovers. Also I see no point in lowering my car with the camber issue. It's more logical for me to wait until this issue is addressed as of now im not sure if I'm going to be waiting much longer.

I appreciate all your opinions and all issues will be addressed....if you would like to donate to the cause to expedite the transformation please send me a pm so I can provide you with my paypal account info! Thankyou and have a nice day!

The camber issue is present even with the factory springs. If your waiting on lowering, don't let it be because of that.

I know that. I was under the impression that it gets worse the lower you go. Is this not true?

For me, it got slightly more noticeable but honestly not extremely different from stock. It's not worth holding out, especially since the car still drives straight and nobody has seen abnormal tire wear. And the handling difference I saw from my Eibachs is pretty sweet and worth it.

Pull the trigger! The only noise I got was clunking over large bumps, but this was due to coils of the springs hitting each other. Eibach sent me a free pair of isolators to put on the springs and the issue has been resolved. They are progressive and the ride actually isn't much harsher than stock. Satisfied. I promise you will fall in love with your car all over again when you see that new stance.

You will love em! Go ahead and give eibach a call now and tell them you have front end clunking. They will ask for you to send them your proof of purchase (I forwarded them my invoice from tirerack.com) and they will ship them out to you same day!
