here is the deal man. I have the same kit and the same problem With the eibach kit it puts your car in some camber that you can't correct. There is a kit you can buy its around 50$ i believe its a caster/camber bolts or something like that. I forget, but basically you need to buy the caster/camber bolts and put them on and have it realigned...hope that helps

bingo /\ /\ and you can ask your alignment guy to stand your tires up a little straighter than stock. Because I think at stock settings the tires still wear on the insides. Make sure you tell them you have camber bolts in there that is unless your having them put them in

This info is right on, I put the bolts on my 06 while installing springs. Then took it in for alinement. NAPA has them too. But I don't remember the part #. It's on the site here somewhere. Not to take away a sale from Sam, but if you're in a time crunch, NAPA could be quicker if you can find the PN.

After you lower your stang.....you will need a minimum of two things to prevent the tires from wearing excessively.

1. wheel alignment
2. camber bolts (I believe CJ Pony parts has got a good price on these)

I don't know. Do I have a page? I'll try and search, but I'll warn you , I don't have much luck with searching for some reason. But I'll try now.

I found it. This is what I used on my 06, while installing springs (Eibach). Then I went and had it alligned. NAPA part #NCP 264-3642 If I remember right, the NAPA people (at that time) say it's a camber bolt for something else. But three of us used it and it gave it enough to do the job. No tire wear issues.
