Default anyone make a home made camber kit for the 90-97? (Alignment specs added!)

I installed a eibach prokit on my car, but the specs are way off. it wants to track the the right now, I will update the post with the specs the alighment shop gave me up here. (the caster is actually off)

anyone do any mods for something like this? (since its onlye a 1.1 inch drop, im thinking a camber kit is overkill)

i lowered my car, got a camber kit installed for the front of my car, and then got an alignment. didn't even do the washer trick for my rear wheels, and I've never had a problem with uneven tire wear in the back.

and with the camber kit, the front is fine. I have an Ingalls camber kit. Lowered on H&R sport springs, which i think is about a 1.2" drop? anyways, i don't think a camber kit is overkill, i think it's a necessity for anything lower then stock.

I took my car to Miami chasis and they cambered it using washers to flare out the wishbone so you could try that. It does a pretty good job...cheap and saves me money cause it doesn't cut the tires.

carbnjunkie - I would get a camber kit for your car, its pretty much a must when you lower it or your gonna get werid tire wear.

yah i agree, problem is, its not going to effect that damn caster! ark...this is going to hurt the handling too, the opposite of what most springs do!
