I have the x coupe and I had eibach springs installed a couple months ago and I have yet to get an alignment. The person who installed it said I didn't need an alignment. I was told some negative camber is normal.

Will an alignment fix this? Should I get a camber kit?

Thanks

 

I'd definitely get an alignment, you really want to know what your readings are, they may be able to get the camber in spec, but the toe angle is really what eats tires so having the true readings is important. Looks like your camber is a bit out of spec, toe probably would be too .
Not a lot of adjustment range w/ the stock arms and toe bolts but many w/ Eibachs are able to get it in spec. Try to find an alignment shop that deals w/ lowered vehicles on a regular basis.

 

this is what im afraid of im getting a camber kit for sure. I dont have the money to be wearin tires.

 

I'm dropped to 25 7/8" all around and my camber isn't as bad as yours. Your friend is correct saying a little negative camber isn't bad. A little actually helps the car handle better. But not as much as you have there.

You definitely need an alignment.

 

Thanks for the responses! I scheduled an appointment to get an alignment tomorrow!

 

The person who installed it seems like an idiot. You definitely need an alignment ASAP. After the alignment you can decide if you need camber kits or not. Take it to a good shop where they can do alignments.
Also since the spring installer suggested no need of alignment, I would not trust his spring installation skills either. Do double check to see if its installed correctly

 

Idk, he seems to have a good reputation with installing springs.

He used to work at a shop but now he does everything at home.
