hello, ive been on this site for a while, but i am not very educated in the suspension area. now, i lowerd my car with an eibach pro kit. but the camber is off and my back wheels are slanted in at the top. what do i need to do/get to fix this?


thanks,
Kevin

 

go to a tire shop and get a wheel alignment after your springs settle in. If your still worried about the amount of negative camber, you can invest in a set of front control arms ($400 - $900) to allow positive camber adjustments. Same applies with the rear wheels, you may want to purchase a set of rear camber arms to allow more positive camber adjustments.

 

do a search for camber kit.

Wheel aligment is good but you will still eat your tires on the inside

if you dont get a camber kit

 

I wouldn't say "eat". Proper toe adjustment is more important than camber when talking about tire wear

I don't know how much the eibachs lower but you should consider some rear toe bolts too.

 

thanks for the feedback guys. basically its just the back that im worried about. the front looks fine. how much are we talking for just the backs purchased and installed?

p.s.-eibach springs lower an inch

 

You can get the rear SPC camber arms and toe bolts for @219 shipped at iapdirect.com:

I dunno about installation cost. A friend and I installed my camber arms last week, it was fairly easily, unbolt OEM arm and replace w/ new arm. as for the toe bolts, someone posted a tutorial on how to install them.

 

g-mann, can you post any pics of your car b/c i want to lower mine about an inch too but i'm not sure what to go with.

 

ok thanks for the info guys! now, i have not gotten an alinement yet, but everytime i go from a stop esp. on turns, i hear 1-3 clicks. positive its coming from the back passanger wheel/area. doesnt sounds serious but i will take it in since it needs other things too. anyone know what it is? kinda sounds like a torque wrench clicking when it reaches its max.

1001, i have pics on a tread aroudn here somewhere, just search, but im ganna wash my car here soon, i will take some pics once thats done.

im running prokit rear springs (lowered car -1.4" on the rear) and was able to get -1.3 camber just using the Stillen camber rods with total toe-in of around 0.28 to 0.30 range.
