just got an alignment. got everything almost to spec with front camber being slightly off. Its not horrible and if tires are rotated properly, then no camber kit is needed. still super happy with the springs.

Specs say it should.

I would get the front camber arms to adjust camber and caster.

As for the left rear, I think the alignment guy could have tweaked it closer.

those were my thoughts as well actually but the car actually drives better and straighter than it ever has. These guys are very well known for the alignments but I do have some concerns as well. may to go another place in a week or so to see what they can do.

Guys are nuts for modding your suspension and not getting your camber back into the OEM specs. SPC and Eibach make front and rear camber kits.

no worry, I purchased a front and rear SPC camber kit just to be safe. I am putting brand new tires on the car, so why not make them last.

Posting up my alignment sheet. Is a camber kit critical?
