Eibach & alignment fail

got an alignment from a 'great' alignment shop and it still sucks. I think the fronts should be fine but the rears are horrid.

Are you sure the shop did anything other than fixing your toe? I read your report and doesn't seems like they changed anything. A good alignment shop spend hours and hours to get everything right. How long where you there?

I once had someone from a very reputable shop told me that I need camber bolt because they tried so hard but still can't get the camber back into spec range...... But I have full coilovers with Camber plate. All they have to do is use a little hex key and they have 2 degree of camber to play with....

The guy spent a little over an hour and it cost me $120. This is allegedly one of the better alignment shops in the Cincinnati area.

Once lowered, the front camber will be off and CAN NOT be adjusted.
The rear camber is limited.

You need the SPC front and rear adjsutable camber arms.

Those numbers seem to be fine. Atleast they got your toe in spec. You shouldn't worry about the camber, if you really do want it back or close to stock then you're going to need a camber kit.

Camber plates do nothing for our cars, you need a camber kit. The shop is correct.
