Eibach Springs & Spacers - Review+Pics

Fire

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.

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.

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...?

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?
