Do you think I need a camber kit for the Eibach pro springs which lower the car 1.2 to 1.4 inches total.

From what I`ve read, When you lower this car, you need to inorder to maintain proper suspension geometry.

It all depends on whether or not the alignment shop can get the car within specs or not. A good rule of thumb is under 1", you usually don't need them, over 1" it is a good idea. But it all depends on the car and the alignment.

Camber kits are always a good idea, but if you want to try and save the money, get it aligned first to see if you need it or not. The worst thing that can happen is the edge of your tires gets worn.

No, I don't really think you do. If you are just interested in tire wear, the camber will be close enough. If you want to improve the handling, you will need camber plates.

another thing you really ought to consider is new aluminum rack bushings because lowering your car is also going to throw off the geometry of your steering and cause bump steer. Saleen has had those available with their previous kits, you should call and find out if they have them for the '05 yet. they use eibach springs, so you might just look to them for the whole enchalada. I'm sure other companies have them as well.

It's actually more like an 1 1/4 front and 1 1/2 rear. But who's counting... BESIDES THE GIRL! Bahh!


Sorry. Couldn't resist.
