Having a problem with springs/camber kit...
I recently installed Eibach Sportline Springs and a Skunk 2 rear camber kit on my 07 FA5. For some reason I am having a weird feeling of the car when I am driving it. It feels like the car is moving side to side (it feels like its staying horizontal with the ground but sliding side to side like the *** end is loose) WAY more then it should, almost like its pivoting off of the center point of my car. It is hard to explain, basically that its...... loose when I am driving. I noticed it a bit during normal driving while the road is dry and it all nice and sunny... but a lot more when it is raining/more slippery then normal. Today was the first day I drove it in the snow (lovely ohio weather in October) and it was BAD. I was terrified for my life, the car literally went whereever the f*ck it wanted, and I am clueless, I dont know if it is the wheels, or the sway bars, or the camber or what...
I haven't had an alignment/camber adjusted because a company has f*cked me over for 3 weeks now on the front camber kit so I am waiting to get that before I have the toe/camber/alignment done and I dont know if that will solve the problem or not?
Has anyone else had this problem?!? Or maybe know what is causing it?!
Thanks guys... ohh and HELP!!!

Dude I really appreciate it, I don't know too much about the mechanical side of cars, but I really appreciate the help...

No problems and I second the statement, no front camber kit is needed. Rear is also optional, but makes it easier to get the rear aligned. I personally have a rear camber kit, and my buddy doesn't. Both of us have no issues getting the car aligned.
I was very impressed that after I got it aligned it felt normal again. But that is what you guys said in the first place so that's awesome. If you guys saw how bad my toe was off, you would "s*it bricks". Once again, THANKS

The only reason I got a rear camber kit was because obviously the camber was pretty far off which (depending on where you drive is fine) but I am going to be driving it in the winter. I just bought some Blizzacks and I don't want to eat up just the inside lip on the rear tires. Those tires are so soft and I want them to last as long as possible, PLUS the more tire on the road in the winter the better!!
...and I read somewhere, I can't remember if it was RICO talking about his Skunk 2 rear camber kit, but whoever you are if you are out there I left 3 threads on the rear kit and they didn't have to adjust them, they said it was "Stock specs" so thanks for the recommendation...
