I am ready to get these tires and a four wheel alignment. I have Eibach sportlines with KYB GR2s and I was wondering if their was any special settings for the alignment with the lowering spring. I thought that Eibach gave you alignment settings for the suspension to work efficiently. I bought my springs and shocks from someone that did not give me the box or instructions with the springs. Installation was no problem but I swear they give alignment specification. I also was wondering where to purchase an inexpensive front camber kit or which one is the best bang for the buck. I figured all camber kits do the same thing and there really isn't a better one. Please post any facts or opinions.

 

Just get an alignment. Set the front toe to 0, the rear to factory settings, and the thrust angle to 0 (or as close to zero as possible).

 

The alignment tech will have the specs for the car stored in the computer. I can't remember any car that is set to zero though. Although if you want they can set it to that for you.

 

I know that alignment techs have the info in the machine and I also know how to run the machine myself (worked in a state inspection garage). I thought that Eibach gave you different settings to accommodate the lower suspension.

 

I've never heard of them giving you specs.

Just align the toe to factory specs, as close as you can possibly get them (make sure thrust angle is 0), and don't worry about a camber kit. If the camber is less than -2 you shouldn't have any problems, as long as that toe is set correctly.

And make sure you rotate your tires every 3K-5K miles.

 

Well, if you guys say so then me and my bro will align it to factory specifications w/o a camber kit which is good cause I'm strapped for cash. I just alway have a problem with wearing the inner edges of the tires out when I hit the windy mountain passes. I always thought it was the way I drive but now I'm starting to think it could be a camber problem or an alignment problem. Man, I'd be happy to have a set of tires for 1000k, let alone rotate every 3000k. I think I need help or something!

If you wear out tires that fast, toe is definitely way off. I've been running my current tires for over 25K miles now w/ -2.5 camber in front, no camber kit. My last set lasted 40K miles. Get that alignment and you should be fine.
