Alignment Questions
I haven't heard anything about the Eibach kit(doesn't mean it happens or not, just haven't read anything on it) but the Skunk2 kits are notorious for having the 4 bolts on the sliding ball joint loosening up and having the ball joint "slip" back and forth screwing up your camber and having the potential to be dangerous. I've heard of a lot of people changing out the hardware to higher grade, torquing them more and using lock washers/nuts to help prevent the bolts from loosening up. This kind of slippage is much more common under hard cornering like in autox and road racing but if the roads are rough in your area and/or you take a lot of corners hard it's something to consider changing.
