I thought I would post the results of my alignment today, he hasn't completed it yet. But he said it shouldn't be a problem to adjust the rear a little w/o having to install the rear camber kit. The front will need it if I wanna get it to -1.2, I'm debating if I just wanna keep a little bit of negative camber up front to improve some extra handling and such? Thoughts? I'm at -2.2 now....





I thought this pic looked kinda funny!


I will post the final results later today. This is just a visual display to show what kind of work the guy will need to do.

Mike, did you ever get an alignment with the eibach kit? And that alignment was not with the camber kit?? I feel like you have really low camber for how low you are.

Haaaaa!!! I did NOT get an alignment with the Eibach kit....Yea my friend made some pretty good adjustments for installing the coils. I'm really happy with how little there is. He is still going to have to put in the rear camber kit. He got one side to move .4 degrees positive but the other side didn't move at all

I was thinking that my camber up front was gonna be worse than it was

You should be just fine. I've been told anything within 2" is fine and that's exactly what I'm doing with my rear. Bringing it in to 1.8" which is WITHIN spec and 1.2" up front is within spec

Results of Eibach Pro kit drop WITHOUT camber kit - G35Driver

^Taylor is correct. You do NOT need a camber kit with the eibach springs, which makes them a very popular spring for people that are just looking for a subtle drop.

Mike - you will 100% want a rear camber kit as I've told you...again....and again. You should be able to get away without the front if your spec charts stay that way. Even with my front SPC kits maxed out, my front camber is at -1.89L and -2.02R.

100 is a small amount to spend vs the crap you would spend on tires with uneven wear

I know, I'm just looking at, if I didn't need to have it installed I could not spend the 100 bucks AND sell it for 250 bucks or so have 350 bucks to the good....which would almost cover gas on the way there
