Alright, I plan to lower my car using Sportlines, and know that I will need the camber kit Eibach sells specifically for this application, which I believe is just front camber bolts. However, I am under the impression that the rear wheels will also be out of alignment. Does the stock adjustability for the rears allow for enough change to bring the car back to a stable setting? I have seen some people use slotted rear upper control arms, or various other thigns to control rear camber. I drive this car on LONG LONG commutes and can't eat up tires. Someone tell me exactly what I need to bring my car into stock alignment with the lowering a set of Sportlines will give me. Thank you very much.

after lowering my car, i took it and had it aligned at a shop. they said they maxed out the adjusters. they got it pretty close, but there is still a small neg. camber. but ive been driving for almost a year since them and there is no sign of wear on the inside of the rear tires.

Go there and look for rear camber correction bushings. It's a stiffer bushing with excentric bushing inserts. That what I used with my sportlines and they got it back to stock w/o any problems.
