Alignment question, its been about 2 weeks since i had my Eibach springs

TicketProof · 08-21-2009, 11:04 AM

installed and it seems most on here recommend an alignment after the springs settle. However my alignment seems to be fine right now, the car tracks straight when driving and also during braking. Should i still take it in for an alignment even if it seems to drive fine ? does the camber get adjusted in some way or is a kit needed for that. thanks

Yes. It may not pull but that doesn't mean it is in correct alignment. Have it checked. It it's correct (it shouldn't be) then you are fine. If not, it depends on how far off it is as to whether you need camber/toe kit. You may not. Post up your specs after you have it checked.

Eibachs usually don't cause too much negative camber. You might be fine, but I'd still have them put the heads on and show you a print out. Like Betty said, adjust if needed.

You should still get an alignment to get as close to factory spec as possible, whether it "seems" to be fine or not. Mine "seemed" fine after Eibachs but they were able to correct my camber and adjust toe and get it within spec which means less uneven tire wear.

DO IT.

I really think you should get an alignment once settled in, here's why

The worst part is the front camber wear, but it isn't even adjustable. The most an alignment can do is correct the toe and maybe a little camber in the rear.

having a bit of negative camber won't hurt.. but incorrect toe will wear out the tires real fast.. so you should probably get an alignment just in case
