I don't have a camber kit and I've been fine so far. I've been on 20's and currently I'm on 18s running 265/40/18 and have no issues at all. I also daily drive my car.
I saw a video of someone who had bald out his inner tire running similarly wide tires due to camber issues. Under 4 months and the tires were gone. its good to hear that you didn’t have any issues, how long have you had them on?

For 6-7 months and tires have been fine with both set of wheels. I do get my chamber adjusted every 3 months to see where it's at but I do have lifetime adjustments so that's a good thing lol
Oh okay. Had them ordered but pulled the plug cuz I watched that video. Might order them back once I get new wheels on. Thank you

Got my H&Rs installed today! I did trim the front bump stops by about 5/8”. I only took it for a five mile spin but the ride comfort doesn’t seem too different.

As an update, I have about 30 miles into the new suspension. It is moderately harsher, but not significant. I would say a bit more noise is transmitted into the cabin, and larger bumps aren’t as smooth. I am going to keep this setup, but will likely look to upgrade to MPP Comfort Coilovovers in the next year or so.

Anyone trim 1/4 of a coil in the rear to get the rear from a 2 finger gap to a 1 finger gap like the fronts? The rake drove me nuts and going from coilovers back to the H&R's i want the gaps to be even all around....any tips so far?!

Anyone who has done the H&R, Can you get over speedbumps and what if you had to drive on grass/non paved roads? Also, anyone that has the H&R in a snow region? My unplugged springs need to come off soon as its too difficult scraping over every speed bump and we might have to move to a snowy region soon.
i had H&R springs and had to change to coilovers as they were way too low and would scrape on every speed bumps. they say they are only like a 1.4 inch drop but i measured 1.8 / 1.9 once fitted to my car.
Here is how it looked on H&R's.
That is a good inch or more higher than mine is now. Currently my Fenders are over the top of the tires slightly. So you are saying you couldn't drive it on non paved roads?
I will look into it, no one seems to like the stance of the eibach.
I have H&R springs on a LR. Ground to fender, I am at 26-5/8 front and 27" rear. I have never had trouble rubbing on speed bumps but I been driving low sports cars for many years and am very cognizant of where/how I drive.

I have them on my 718 and love the look and the ride...very close to OEM in ride quality
also had them on my BMW, looked great, but hated the ride quality as it had a floaty type feel with more bounce compared to the OEM ride quality.
I think a lot has to do with who installed them.....it makes a difference
I will most likely go with them on my new M3P soon

How did alignment end up? Did you need to get a camber kit for both rear and front?
