lowering sedan with Tien H springs

I have a 2006 sedan on staggered 20"s and I was considering trying the Tien H springs with a 1.4" drop in front and 0.7" in rear...do I need an alighnment or camber kit ? and if so will the Eibach pro kit work with those springs?...any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have an 05 Sedan with staggered 19's and H-techs and all I needed to do was an alignment but it was more of a "just in case" measure. I dont use a camber kit although if you wanna do it right, you might as well get one, but IMO you wont need it. Anything lower like an S-tech I would definetely get a camber kit.

Good luck

My sedan needed front and rear camber kits on the stock suspension, even when the alignment was within specs (barely). Since I got the SPC camber kits anyway, I went ahead and lowered the car a little.

I'm of the opinion that any drop needs camber kits in front for the simple fact that there is absolutely no adjustability in the front. The rear has a little adjustability, but you'll probably need a camber kit and toe bolts back there anyway.

It all depends on how much inner tire wear you can handle. I don't want any.

I installed the springs, shocks, camber kits, and sway bars by myself. It can be done. It's not difficult, but it does take a little while.

MY alignment SHOP told me to save the money for camber kit..and just rotate the tire often....since ur having a staggered setup...it's better just get the kit....

At least get the rear kit. It's cheap and helps save the pricy tires.
