A question about camber

DrEvil · 11-04-2011, 10:08 AM

I installed a set of Eibach pro springs and 15mm spacers the other day and last night I was looking at the car from a few yards back . I noticed that my camber is abit off, negative for sure on all 4 corners.For those who did this, is there enough leeway in the alignment adjustment to correct this or do I need to go with a camber kit?

It depends on how much camber you are comfortable with. If you want to get back to within OEM spec you will need a camber kit.

Like the Mustang owner said, you won't be able to get back to OEM spec. BUT keep in mind that TOE is what kills tires. A little camber is no problem, at all. When you get your alignment, just tell them to get the toe right.

you can have the rear adjusted a bit, get an alignment. I didn't need camber kits and im lower. (within spec, though at the edge. -1.9 rears)

I went ahead and ordered a camber kit. Right now I don't care about my stock tires, those Yokos' only have a 20k tread life and I am at almost 16k. I just don't want new tires wearing out too soon due to a camber issue. Thanks for your input.
