Eibach Lowering Springs Setup

[rcorona]

Hey everyone!

I was wondering what suspension mods everyone has with the Eibach Springs and what issues you have (if any) as well. I currently have the Eibach springs & sway bars, and Megan Racing rear camber arms. With this setup, I've only been able to keep an alignment for like 3 months at most. Do I need to get the Megan Racing toe arms too? Debating just putting the OEM camber arms back on and seeing if that works.

Any and all experiences, advice, and answers are appreciated!

If I had to guess its probably the adjustable camber arms giving you the problems. The sways shouldnt affect your alignment at all and the Eibach springs shouldnt throw your alignment off by much to begin with.

Thats what I've been thinking, I've just been in denial lol Are you running OEM linkage arms with lowering springs? If so, how has your alignment been?

My springs are stock but I have been running Eibach front and rear swaybars without issue for 2-3years.

This is my first car I've ever owned where I havent lowered it (family/kids). But it isnt the first time Ive heard of people having issues with adjustable arms.

I am on stock camber arms with Eibach Pro Kit springs and sways. Aligned it shortly after install back in July. Had it checked about a month ago when switching wheels and it was still within spec. I am guessing the camber arms are the dilemma.

FWIW, anything adjustable in your suspension should be marked with a grease pencil immediately after an alignment. Stinger's rear factory eccentric bolts for camber and toe have them. The factory marks should be erased and a new line drawn. Some alignment shops do this, but most don't. You'll have to do them yourself. Even though there are others ways the alignment can go out of whack. Marking those fasteners will at least let you see if those adjustments have moved.

You have to have camber and toe arms installed. Or you will have issues ,just adjusting camber pushes the toe out

What were your alignment specs after everything was on? Was everything good? Feel washy at all?

Well you have negative camber in the front because of no adjustment and the tech matched the rear. The car is planted to the ground. It's not squirrely at all

Did you get the work done?

If so, how is it so far?

Yep the toe arms are on and everything is aligned properly. Took some headaches though to get it aligned. I took my car to 2 generally reputable shops, one of the shops kept my car for 3 days, and they both couldn't do it. Asked around on my local cars & coffee fb page and got a suggestions for the 3rd shop. Took my car there and they did it in 2 hours better than I've ever had it before. The owner regularly tracks his car and does his own alignments. I paid $160, well worth it. So if you do it I’d make sure you go to a shop that has experience doing alignments on modified cars

Hey man, I saw your tire and wheel setup and noticed its the exact same thing I would like to do as well. But may I ask what the offset of your wheels are?

No problem... 20x9 +33 fronts and 20x10.5 +40 rears. I researched a bunch of other guys setups and asked questions like you are. Better safe than sorry.

Yep, my exact thoughts, trying to research before I buy wheels and tires and they not fit and rub with my springs. Thank you!
