Please help: Lowering kits and Caster\Camber issues.

So I really really really want to put Eibach Sportline springs on the car this weekend, but I can only find a caster\camber kit for the front of the car.

Anyone who has put these springs on your car, PLEASE let me know what problems you have ran into.

I know the back of the car is solid axles and cant be adjusted but do the tires visibly lean with the lowering kit?  And are 1.25 degree caster\camber bolts enough?

Any useful info appriciated!


Any race you can drive home from is a good race .  .  .

Re: Please help: Lowering kits and Caster\Camber issues.

i have the eibach lowering springs on my '04. came straight off the lift and right onto the alignment rack. camber isn't really too much of an issue front or rear because with the prokits (what i have), the drop is so small that its just not enough to drastically change your camber. caster was not an issue on my car. the alignment rack figured my camber to be -.6 degrees on one side and -1 degree on the other...hardly anything to worry about.


editing this to answer your questions more directly...

1. if you're gonna reuse your stock struts, get the eibach prokits. not as much of a drop as the sportlines, but will make your struts last that much longer and still give your car that sexy lowered stance.
2. my wheels...front and rear don't visibly lean in

U don't need a caster/camber kit... they suck anyway.  All you need to do is align the toe in/out.  The camber should be just right.
