alignment after eibach springs

I went to get an alignment to reduce the front camber wear but was told the front camber isn't adjustable.

Did I went to the wrong shop?

You need a front camber kit from SPC Performance to adjust front camber. Search for lots of info and DIY on front camber kit.

Hmmm, several members have gotten all four wheels back in-spec after the prokit with no camber kits. How is this possible if camber isn't adjstable?

When most say they got camber back in spec they are talking about the rear which is adjustable from the factory. Some with mild drops (like Eibach) can get their camber just inside the upper spec limit which helps with tire wear. If you want to run closer to the nominal setting on rear camber then you will need a rear camber kit and toe bolt. If dropped lower than Eibach, then you almost definitely need camber kit.

The front camber is not adjustable from the factory. You have to get a camber kit. Don't know what else to say....it just ain't adjustable.

depends what "spec" you want it back to. im running -2 front, -1.7 rear with eibachs and im very happy because my toe is 0. toe is way more important for tire wear so i dont care whether my camber is green or in "spec".
