So my eibach springs are going to be finally put on my car after sitting in the garage for 2 months. I was waiting on a camber kit to be released. At the dealership my father works for they have a Hunter alignment system. Some time again my dad told the Hunter rep to let him know when a kit gets released for the coupe. Apparently sometime last week he got the call that ones been released so I have an appointment next week to get the springs installed and aligned. Don't know for sure if Hunter makes the camber kit or who does, I'll let you guys know when I find out.

On a side note, last night went through the BK drive through (first time going through a drive-thru since getting my car 3 months ago, dont really like fast food). Anyway I saw the talk on here about getting comments on the car at the drive-thru and what do you know the first time I go through one I get the comment "Nice car".

Anyway ill post pics with the springs installed and also let you guys know who makes the kit.

Is there a drone when you cruise at 65ish mph at 2-3k rpm?

it's basically hearing the exhaust really loud inside your car when slowing down and letting off the acceleration pedal.

ahh my bad bro..got busy and kinda forgot about this forum for a lil...

anyway the drop is awesome..im loving it..ill post pics this weekend...

did not even use the camber kit...it was just for the front which needed absolutely no adjustment at all so i didnt even use the kit

the back however was out of wack..but there is the ability to adjust camber and toe in the back...but not to have it dead center..so it could be enough to be adjusted within specs...just not dead on like the front...my back wheels have a little bit of negative camber, i believe (tucked in on the top more and flared out on the bottom, nothing really noticeable though and should be fine with rotation of the tires)

Yeah, I think we kinda told you. I know from experience when you drop a car, you're gonna need camber kits but for the eibach prokit, it's such a small drop that it doesn't even warrants it. My camber was very close to spec and there was no tire wear issues after 5K. The Toe is what is really important here and there is adjustment that corrects it.

yea you guys did say that u dont really need a kit...oh well doesn't really matter, i didn't actually buy it, the dealership just kept it in parts inventory in case something comes from the body shop and needs adjustment...

just sucks that i waited 2 months for my car to get lowered cuz of it
