I had the Eibach pro-kit on the late wagon ... I used the rear camber kit and it worked fine ... I also installed the front camber kit and had nothing but problems with it (spring kept slipping off strut bearing because the cheapo camber kit doesn't adjust the seat angle) ... so eventually we just took them off. As it turns out the front camber was just within specs anyway - it certainly drove good and after 50k with the pro-kit on I saw no strange tire wear.
I also stayed with the stock dampers (wagon comes with h/d to begin with) for about 20k - - they worked very well IMO but I eventually replaced them with Euro-spec Ford (ST-170) on the front and KYB on the rear just because I was beginning to track the car.
