Eibachs installed. Need alignment/camber specs pls

i have been riding on my eibachs for about 2 weeks now. I figure the springs have set in by now and now its time to adjust camber/alignment (my car is slightly pulling to the right too?). Could someone please give me the camber/alignment specs for the coupe. I use my G as a daily driver, so please give me specs that would be practical. I dont know whether to use stock specs or custom specs. I want to get this done within a week or so. Information would be greatly apprecated. thx alot

Re: Eibachs installed. Need alignment/camber specs pls

Front specs range from,

Camber (positive and negitive, look closely)
-1.25
+.50
-1.0 is considered normal

Toe in (combined numbers, per side settings are half that listed below).
0mm (0")
2mm (.08")
1mm (.04") is considered normal.


Rear specs range from,

Negitive Camber
-.75 to -1.75
-1.25 is normal

Toe in (negitive numbers if your watching the alignment machine) The numbers listed are combined numbers, per side numbers are half that listed below.

0mm (0")
5.6mm (.220")
2,8mm (.110")

Your alignment shop will have the same figures, but here you know advance and can think in advance how much more camber you will be willing to accecpt or maybe actually want.

The drop amount given by Eibachs tends to be greater then they say (supposed to be 1.1"). You may find that your lower then you think and that your camber specs are off accordingly. These cars come with negitive camber from the factory, you'll have to balance how much you have with the cost to correct it, especially in the front. Theirs nothing wrong with more camber on these cars within reason(I see guys doing around -1.9 all the time), and providing your toe is properly set. Some people get excessive innner tire wear that way, others do not.

Hey, Omar
How does your ride quality compare to before when you ran stock? Does it feel a lot stiffer or about the same? just wondering since im looking into the Eibach kit

Jump and the net will appear

I installed my Eibachs 2 weeks ago.

I was concerned about ride quality as well.
I have the sport pkg (stiffer shocks) & notice very little change.
Minor bumps & road imperfections are really smooth.
Larger bumps which force the suspension to the limits get progressively harsher, but still not much different than stock.

(edit) Sorry...Just noticed you're probably talking about the coupe; I have the sedan.

Re: Eibachs installed. Need alignment/camber specs

The ride is quality is not much different although you can sense a little stiffer ride. I feel the bumps and potholes a bit more now. It seems like i can turn a little more aggressively too. Over all, i dont mind the stiff ride. The handling and looks more than compensate for it. I would recommend the eibachs to anyone lookin for springs. Since the G is already pretty low, if adding the eibachs, you really have to watch out for potholes and driveways with steeper slopes. I was in downtown vegas the otherday and the streets their are HORRIBLE mainly because they are really old. I normally am very aware of road conditions ahead of me, but I didnt catch one pothole and BAM my whole car sunk in the pothole and it scraped the [censored] out of my front bumper. I couldnt sleep that night...
