Question Eibach Pro-kit does not fit the 2.4L???

So I'm planning on getting a set of the Eibach Pro-kit. I've shopped around Toronto and most places quote them at $350. So I called up the dealership today to see if they'll quote me something cheaper (wishful thinking). Anyway, they ended up calling their supplier in the States and came back to me with something I didn't expect to hear. They said that the Pro-kit drops the car 1.4" F and 1.3" R. I was under the impression that the Pro-kit fits anything 08+ (including the 2.4L), which is suppose to be 1.2"F and 0.8"R. I'm pretty sure he quoted me the Pro-kit for the Evo. Then he goes on to say that I'm gonna need camber bolts, re-aligning the wheels etc etc, and it's gonna cost $992.41 CDN. So I politely no diced his offer.

Just to confirm, does the 08+ Pro-kit fit on the 09 GTS? And anyone from Toronto have the Pro-kit? If so where did you pick it up from?

Thanks in advance.

Would I still need camber bolts even if it's only 1.2"F 0.8"R?

It's good to know that the Pro-kit will fit.

Also... Malik is the name of the shop or the mechanic? Cuz I know there are a few shops on Heritage.

Thanks for the info!

Why would you need a camber kit for a minimal drop like this...if you really wanted to you can probably go unharmed without an alignment on that drop (smething Id still do just to be sure), let alone spending the money on the camber kit.

I was under the impression that you only needed camber bolts if u drop the car 1.5" or more. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I think he meant that I would need camber bolts for the springs that the dealer quoted me (which was like, 1.4"F 1.3"R or something). I went back to check the Eibach website, this mysterious Pro-kit is nowhere to be found, might be something new for the 2.4l only...

i have heard the same thing 1.5 and under you wont need camber or alignment,but i would do the alignment just to be on the safe side,and keep a eye out for camber issues
