2024 fl5 Had eibach pro kit springs put on. Have wheel alignment appointment set up. I do not track the car, not a daily driver. Through the forums, many have posted add rear camber kit if you plan to track the car which again, im not. What specs should i be shooting for toe/camber ? TIA

As close to stock alignment. If performance is not really a issue for you.

You're probably gonna need a rear camber kit anyway. When I lowered my Si they couldn't get the rear in range without aftermarket rear camber arms.

You want the initial alignment a week after installation to make sure it's close to factory. They will tell you they can't really align much since there isn't much to align anyway. If you don't track or don't care to be dialed specific alignments you don't need arms just rotate the tire more often. I like to do my rotations every 3500 miles or so. You could probably get away with just Toe Arms for the slight tire life but that's all you can really do honestly. If you do plan to go wider or bigger tires then you will need more adjustable arms like Toe/Camber/LCA.

There is no need to get a rear camber kit, just reduce rear toe in (to around +1 to +2mm combined). You wont suffer excessive inside shoulder wear at -2° with this set up.

I'm in the same boat as you OP. I do not plan to track my car, but I do drive it as a daily and also have spirited drives (obviously) on occasion on my country back roads. I lowered on HR springs and the best they could get my camber was about 1.5-1.8 degrees (- or + don't remember). I also don't remember if this was the front or back. My toe was fine on both sides, basically 0 toe.
