What exactly couldn't be adjusted to spec?

Front? Rear? Camber/caster/toe?

I had my springs\alignment done at the dealer too. They are a pretty decent (albeit expensive) bunch of guys who have been generally supportive of my mods so far. (My service rep actually wanted to compare his BullyDog downloader to my new BD tuner last week.)

My invoice reads:front & rear alignmentcaused by: Lowering Spring Installation.Alignment will need to be redone with caster and camber kits in order to be correct. Did make sure steering wheel is straight in adjusting toe.

So yes, the alignment may not be "to spec" without the additional kits...

I have driven 12,k miles since then and haven't noticed any extreme handling or wear issues so far....next alignment time I will address he issue to be more 'in spec'.

How long ago did you put in the springs? they need to settle. But then again, lowering springs sets the camber off so it will never be perfect but your toe should be fine. My rear has the same camber problem that can only be fixed if i get new control arms.

thats basically what i was told, camber couldnt be fully corrected. Thanks for you input, just wanted to make sure they werent screwing with me cause they were too lazy to do it properly

Hah man this problem seems to happen to a lot of people who lower there car because i have my setup on H&R springs with 20s and I got a camber on my back left. Are new control arms the only was to make it more flush?

You can get back to factory specs with the Eibach drop. If not back to factory specs, very close. You should not need anything other than an alignment with that drop. Get a performance shop to recommend a good local alignment guy.
