Back is usually out of spec more that the front.

With eibach you can't get back to spec without camber arms but you can get it close. I'm at -2 in the rear and it is fine. I could have gone even closer but want some camber for the track. And FYI spec is not 0, I think its around -1.3 to -0.8

My eibachs were still settling after a month too and had to get it realigned. I got my first alignment a week after, and they were able to get it into spec. When i brought it back a month later, they said I needed a camber kit if i wanted to get it into spec.

Then I switched out my rears for tanabes and it got worse. I was considering getting a camber kit for a while but decided against it when I found out that camber doesnt effect tire wear too much as long as the toe is in spec. Im getting new tires this weekend so ill see how long these last before I reconsider getting camber kits.

For the newby when you say negative look are you referring to the tires looking like they are tilting in at the top? I hate that look. I am looking into lowering options also just to get rid of the front gap but it sounds to be successful people really need a pro kit,cambers and a quality alignment or two. Would you agree? If so how much ballpark might all this cost? Thx for the imput - Lawrence

the Eibach PK is $299, install shouldn't be more than $90-$150 depending on where you are (mine cost me $90+tax, CA you'll pay a little more probably)

Allignments shouldn't be more than $50 and you really should only need 1

Camber kits, check with Lou@Amplified or Nick@THMotorsports for a good deal
