On my previous car i had the eibach sportlines and had a bit camber and had uneven tread wear on my tires. Do you think if i get the tein s tech springs that i wouldnt need a camber kit or is it good that i get it anyways to prevent uneven tire wear? What camber kits could adjust to at least a 2 inch drop springs that sell for cheap cause im on a tight budget right now. Also is it that camber cause the uneven treadwear or is it the alignment such as toe? Any help will be great, thanks.

toe will kill your tires more then camber, just get an alignment after u install the springs. and about camber - www.pdm-racing.com has camber bolts for pretty cheap, that should do the trick. just helpin out a fellow washingtoner (er w/e we're called)

How do the bolts work? How many do i need to purchase to correct a 2 inch drop for both the front and rear?

These bolts come stock in the rear of the car, so there is no reason to swap them out, Adjustable rear upper control arms are the only other way to correct rear camber aside from the stock eccentric bolts.
These bolts correct the front camber. There are two bolts on the bottom of each of the front shocks that hold them in. These bolts replace the top bolt on each side. They are basically a bolt with a cam lobe on them, you turn them to adjust camber. all you do is swap the bolts out and you're done. The rear camber is adjustable via the same style eccentric bolts.

How do you rate how difficult it is to do the camber adjustment with those bolts from 1-10. Also Is the instructions included with the product and with easy to follow instructions on how to do it?

defenately a 1! There are two bolts that holt the bottom of each strut in. They stare you in the face when you take off ur wheel. You simply take the top one out and put the new bolt in. Then you put a socket rench on the bolt and start spinning it, you will see the camber change as you spin the bolt. Once you have it set to where you want, you tighten down the nut on the bolt and voila! It may sound slightly confusing now but once you start doing it, it all makes sense!
