Eibach Pro-Kit: Camber kit or not?
For those of you dropped on Eibachs, who just installed the springs and who added a camber kit? For those of you who didn't get a camber kit, when did you do an alignment? How close to spec did you get? For those of you with a camber kit, which one did you go with?

ya bump for info on alignment specs AFTER eibachs WITHOUT camber kits please.
id recommend waiting a couple weeks after the drop before the alignment to give the springs time to settle.

I'm assuming you meant G37S. Did you have the alignment done at the same time as the spring install? I suppose they gave you the camber specs before the alignment, did they? How was the toe-in?

Nope....G35S, which is why I prefaced it with "For what it's worth". Since no one else had posted numbers without the camber kit I figured I'd list mine to give you some idea of what you would be looking at.
Edit: Added alignment sheet

^thats not bad at all for camber. appreciate the posting! the toe on the rear tires is a bit high though. thats what will really wear your tires out. id recommend rear toe arms at the least.

It's not as bad as I thought, but I'll still be putting a camber / toe kit on. This is also right after the springs were put on, but I doubt they will change significantly. I'll post up a new alignment sheet, once I let them settle and get the kit installed. It will be interesting to see just how much it does change when the springs settle.

I'm having my Eibachs installed sometime next week. A few weeks after that, I'll have the dealership perform an alignment. I'm going to have them print off before and after alignment readings, sp I'll post up the results as soon as it's all done.

thanks andrew. ya i know the 35s had a bit of variance car to car. some people were able to get back in spec and some werent. so far it looks like rear toe is the only thing really out of spec.
