Great info guys! It looks like the sets are pretty consistant for drop height.

I've done a little searching and haven't found too much on camber kits. Is one necessary if I install H&R springs?

you pretty much just need an allignment after.

I cut my front H&R's and I still just needed an allignment. No camber kit needed on mine.
 
When cutting the front springs, you cut the bottom right? I am looking at the spring and the top is pigtailed so it does not look like you would want to cut it.
 
well i had mine dropped last thursday, H&Rs and new shocks/struts. Havent had the alignment yet, but i measured today and all 4 tires were right about 17". what is the deal? do i need more settling time? also, i noticed on the back springs, the right rear coil on the bottom ends facing rear, and the left rear coil ends facing forward on the bottom. is that normal?

how much coils did you cut? that's super low, maybe a full coil in the front on eibachs can get you that low? & the rear? that's super low, I had to modify the suspension a lot to get close to that & not have crazy camber issues & your 1/2" lower than that??? damn, must be some heavy ass subs :tonguey: :tup: you gotta be bottoming hard front & rear like that no?
