So I went to get my alignment done and it turns out after I lowered on Eibach's, I am -2.3 degrees for the rears (apparently OEM is between -1.3 and .4, so i'm about a degree and some off...), and fronts are -1.4 where the recommended is like -1.1 to something positive...

I have pretty much brand new tires with 90% tread and I don't want to screw them up any further.

Based on all your experiences, what is the best option for me right now? Is 1 degree gonna be that bad? I drive my car less than 100 miles a week since I'm in school. Should I get the rear camber kit since they are less costly (and my wheels are more off in the rears) or is it in my best interest to get both front and rear and be broke for other things temporarily..?

Thanks!

 

Do you have a camber kit? I'm running coils and an SPC camber kit. I had them do slightly toe in to the rear and about a degree of negative camber all around at the recommendation of one of the chief mechanics at my favored shop in Houston. I think factory neg camber is more like -1.8, but I have a coupe. Those numbers look fine, honestly. Toe will chew up tires far faster than camber will.

 

I don't have the camber kits :/ actually looking to buy some now! I will take a pic of my alignment sheet and lemme know what you think!

 

Here's a spec sheet w/ OEM spec ranges, IMO it's best to get the camber/toe kits, I used to say just get it close and run it but if you have the coin I'd pony up and get at least the rear kit for starters. Like Anthony mentioned your tires will still wear decent if your toe is OK but in the long run having your alignment in spec w/ the camber kits will pay for itself in longer tire life.

 

Yes, looking to buy the rear ones! Should have them in a week or two. Found a friend to help me install them for $20
