I have 20mm front and rear, stock sport rims and tires, Eibach springs, pro alignment kit, stillen sways. Just got it back to specs over the weekend. My specs: Front camber L-1.1 R-1.0 Caster L 5.5 R 4.8 Toe L 0.07 R 0.11 Rear Camber L-1.5 R-1.6 Toe L 0.12 R 0.14 Thrust angle -0.01. I don't have the recordings just ater springs, spacer and sway install as the shop didn't print it, they just said it wasn't close enough to recomended settings.:ugh2:

I'm impressed with your front camber specs being so low considering the 20mm spacer plus drop up front. I assume this is on stock 245/40 and 275/35 tires? I am thinking of going to 245/40 up front. I think a more Rounders tire will help reduce my front camber.

Or is the pro alignment kit something for the front too? I assume you have it just on the rear.

I have stock sport wheels and tires. The front has Eibach's pro alignment kit. It is an adjustable upper a-arm. Caster and camber adjustment is achieved with the upper mount. It lists for $459.50 from Stillen. I'm very happy with my entire suspension setup.:ughdance:

do you guys recommend a rear camber kit when installing Eibach springs? i heard its not needed since its not that much of a drop and its Eibach...?

Fire 03-29-2011 07:36 AM

I did not see my alignment after the drop and before the alignment kit. But I was told that the neither the front or rears where not close enough to factory specs to use without the kit. It ain't cheap but I know now that I'm safe to drive without wrecking tires.

Sport wheels , stock tires Fr 245/40 and Rr 275/35 , Eibach springs, 20mm spacers Fr, 25mm spacers Rr, SPC Rear Camber Kit, Toe Bolts.

Now for the camber numbers.

OEM
Front
Minimum -1.41
Nominal -0.67
Maximun 0.08


OEM
Rear
Minimun -2.16
Nominal -1.67
Maximun-1.17

My Alignment
Left Front -1.3
Left Right -1.6

Left Rear -1.1
Right Rear -1.0


Without the Toe Bolts the best we could muster was:
Left Rear -1.9
Right Rear -1.8

^ Not an ideal camber setting for the setup I was trying to achieve, hence the need to install the toe bolts. I was looking for a .3 difference between the front and rear camber settings with the front having more negative camber than the rear. I almost reached it with my camber settings above, but would not even be able to come close without the rear camber kit with toe bolts.

Goal to achieve is Front -1.5 and Rear -1.3

I will try to scan and post up the printout from the Hunter alignment.

I big thanks to Raul (RCZ) for educating me on the setup with camber, toe and sway bar setting. He really knows his stuff!

I will install eibach spring, H&R DRM 25mm spacers on rear and 19" stock wheels. Do I need camber kit for this setup?
