Arrow worrying about camber

ok I have eibach pro kit with kyb gr2 non adjustables. I am about to get to work on my 5 lug setup and get some spacers and longer studs made up so i can put on some fd wheels. Do i need to invest in some camber adjusters to keep everything right or should an alignment and balancing be sufficient.

I would suspect the alignment shop will tell you if they can't get it in spec

Eibach springs are minimal drop.
You should be okay.

Camber with a 0.8" drop? Don't think so... I'm running the eibach prokits and there's absolutely no indication of any camber. Why are you going with longer studs? Get hubcentric spacers where you bolt the spacer to the hub via the current studs, and then it has studs coming out of it you bolt the wheels to. Hubcentric is much safer, at least in my mind.

I learned about 20 minutes ago thats what im going to go with. I always had a bad impression of these kinds of spacers becasue of the pairs I have seen first hand all had the new studs pressed or cast into the spacer. I see now I can buy spacers with new solid bolts fed through them. I was so confused on that topic till I saw some pictures. I only ask about camber cause i see it brought up so much, I figured if its an issue for all these people it might be an issue for me as well. Thansk for the clearing up.
