poor handling.. from spring install?
Hey guys. Last week i installed my Eibach sportlines. the install was easy and took me about 4 hours. (including rear camber kit) As i began to drive the car it felt pretty good but once i took it on the highway it felt dangerous. It has now been about a week and the car feels even worse. at first i though it could be that the alignment is way out of spec but then it felt so bad that i didnt think it could be that. If im on the highway and i try to keep it straight by correcting the steering it feel as if the car keeps going in that direction forcfully. If i try to counter that, it jets in the other direction leaving me feeling like im going to lose control. Could it be that the alignment is that out of spec that it is making the car feel this bad? any input will help Thanks

I'm sure it's off, but it shouldn't have been that much of a difference.
Especially if you notice it getting worse.
What are your tire pressures like?
Have you dble checked the install?

++10,000........get an alignment. You go straight to an alignment shop, after an install like that. immediately!

you can't get the camber arms back to the exact place they were without a machine, and maybe you forgot to lengthen them so they were the same length as the stock ones? idk

its gotta be that. I just checked everything and my works looks good. I can visually tell that the tow and camber are way off. the car feels like im driving a truck down the highway when its windy... back and forth back and forth..... im going to wait a few more days and then go for the alignment just so the springs settle.
your toes and camber are prob out of whack... drriver side wheel pulling to the left while passenger pulls to the right will make your car very unstable. I would wait 2 weeks after the install to align it.
if you knew you needed a camber kit, how did you know how to USE the camber kit and put it into spec? Toes, alignment, camber....how did you adjust them?? You 100% need to take it to a suspension shop.
