Default 1994 Vigor suspension questions, please chip in. (Non-Vigor tech heads invited)

I have a 1994 Vigor that I'm going to drive into the ground. It has 175,000 miles on it right now, and will probably last another 100,000. That being the case, I want to make it a bit more fun since it is my daily driver.

Anyways, so here's the situation. I just bought and installed some Bridgestone Turanzas. They are MONEY tires. Now, I want to buy some Eibach Pro-Kits (1.2 inch drop, front and rear). However, the question is: will it affect my camber to where I will be wearing out my Bridgestones? If so, I will go ahead and shell out the $$$ for the Eibach camber kit.

The other question is: when I had my car aligned, the tech said he aligned it as best he could because the (_____) bushings in the front were worn out. Does anyone know what these are called? They are the REALLY LARGE ones that I think are within the control arms(?). If I am going to do this, I'll call up Len and order replacement bushings.

Thanks a bunch in advance for anything you guys may be able to contribute.

i forget if that car has radius rods or not. if the radius bushings are worn, that would affect it. but it could also be the control arm bushings.

run that vigor to the ground! there was one in florida when i worked for acura, it had 330k miles on it. he had acura do a total of 4 timing belt services on it! all acura dealership service records. 1992 vigor. running strong.

Thanks for the input. What do you think about the camber situation?

Anyone else? I would like to move forward with this potential project!

I just put an eibach pro kit on my vigor it was a real bitch. If your looking to really drop it then dont get that kit go with some coilovers or something kuz it didnt drop my vigor 1.2 inches like it says its supposed to. anyways it does camber the front some but it shouldnt really effect the tires to much u could go with the camber kit just to be on the safe side though
