Default What camber?

What camber should I go with when I get my alignment done.

I need to tell the shop because I guess they will set it to stock of you don't give them the specs.

My car is on eibach pros, which is a 1.3" drop.

Camber is not adjustable without some form of camber kit.

Remove the kit and put the stock parts back on. Have the shop set the toe and ignore the camber.

If you want, you can search in the suspension forum on this. Its been covered countless times, but either way you don't need (or want) a camber kit for a street car with a mild drop.

toe is what's adjustable. toe the front out between 1/32nd and 1/16th and toe the rear in between zero and 1/32nd. you can use the washer trick on the upper arm to reduce camber in the back. up front, you have what you have. with those toe settings tire wear will be good and they also add a touch of performance over the factory specs.

Sorry I didn't mention it, but the car does have an adjustable camber kit on it. Skunk 2 something or other.

I don't have my stock parts to go back to. I decided to go with a kit because my friend has the same car and same springs as me and his tires are all "cambered out". I also bought the car with a camber kit already on it and one of the ball joints broke so I just put these on, not knowing what to do with the camber.

Any recommendations now?

I'll try to search but I'm not too confident that I will find anything specific.

Thanks

Under those conditions, ask the shop for something between -1* and -2*. Personal preference applies here, and chose based on how aggressive you are going to corner the car. Any value in that range is within what many cars come with stock, and will not cause any tire wear issues.

If you find yourself bottoming out the UCA into the shock tower, swap back to OEM UCAs and get the car re-aligned.
