alignment with Eibach springs?

It won't be that bad. Unless you do burnouts and stuff all the time. You got a couple thousand miles before the inside wears more often than the outside.

So a 1" drop got you to -2.1? I wonder what the fronts are?

I can't really say. I put eccentric adjusters in the top strut holes, and just eyeballed them so I could get it to the alignment shop.

Mine is similarly aligned (-1.6 and -2.1) in the back after installing the Pro Kit springs. I had purchased the Whiteline Rear Control Arm Upper Inner Bushing kit but haven't installed it, yet. I'm planning on just evening out driver/passenger side, though this probably won't be happening for at least another few weeks. Free time I do not have

By itself the fronts will basically be zero still.. it'll change a little but it'll end up .1 or .2 most likely. With Sportlines and whiteline top hats I'm -1.0 on one side and -1.2 on the other IIRC and that -1 comes from the top hats...

I'm going for -1.25F/-1.0R

The front is close to what I want

What is the best options to adjust camber front and rear? I got the Eibach Pro's today, but will go for coilovers later. The whiteline kits cost $85 for front and $162 for rear.

Or could it be smart to go for camber plates from Vorshlag or similar that I also can use with coilovers later?

Install my Eibach Pro-Kit on Saturday and had it alignned this morning, same results as you:
Spec - Right/Left:
Front Camber: -0.2/-0.1
Front Caster: 5.6/5.7
Front Toe: 0.02/0.02

Rear Camber: -1.9/-2.3
Rear Toe: 0.12/0.11

Weird...height is the same on both sides, everything is torqued & installed properly, no binding, no clunks, etc. Camber is just a hair out on the Right Rear...


UPDATE!
Just pulled the alignment spec's from my car's previous alignment (before the Eibach's were installed) due to a steering wheel that was off center;
Rear Camber: -0.9/-1.5
The rear camber was not equal then either, but was still in the "green". Since the Eibach's give in more negative camber, it gave it enough to put it in the "red". My guess is the rear subframe is skewed to the right, looks like I'll need to loosen it up and tweak it to make the camber equal right to left in the rear.
Conclusion: This is not an Eibach issue....
