I have Eibach ProKit springs on my car now, which is a 1.3" drop all around. The Koni's have an adjustible spring perch that can lower the front another 25mm and the rear another 15 mm. My question is, if I put the Koni's on the lowest perch will that screw up my alignment?? I was thinking that it didn't just because that only the body of the car is lowering and the spring is not compressing any more. But I could be wrong. Just wanted to see your input.

Anytime you make any modifications to your springs/shocks, you will have to get your alignment checked out to make sure it is within spec. The rears will probably be okay, but the fronts will likely have to be realigned.

The body of the car has nothing to do with lowering. As you lower your car, you modify the positioning of your control arms, thus making changes to the car's alignment.

 

I did the koni/eibach thing on the lowest perches, and it left me with about a -2.5+ camber in the front and -1.4 in the rear. I ended up getting a camber kit for the front and leaving the rear. You need to get a 4 wheel alignment after you move them all to the lower perches.

 

With my H&R Sport springs, I set my rear perches on the low setting and left the fronts on the stock setting. My car sits perfectly level. I have about -2.1 deg. front left, -2.4 front right.

 

What do camber kits normaly cost and what are some good brands to get?
