G37X with eibach pro kit alignment specs..noob help

Got my alignment today after I dropped my X. I was told I will need a front and rear camber kit. Can you guys confirm if I need one, both or any at all?

Camber
Front -1.8 and -2.0
Rear - 2.4 and -2.3

Toe
Front .0 and .0
Rear .05 and .05

Your front is borderline, and with a bit of toe-in your camber should ease up a bit. It's best to have a bit of toe-in rather than having it set at zero, you should be OK with that.

Your rear setup will need attention, camber arms at the minimum & probably a toe kit, luckily they're a lot cheaper than the front, about $150 for the arms and $50 for the toe bolts.

Did you go to a shop that deals w/ lowered vehicles quite a bit? Some chain places like Sears don't seem to take the time or have techs that really work to make things right. If that's the case you might try a different shop (one that may come recommended by someone else on this site) and see if they can get the alignment closer. Eibach drops usually aren't that far off on the camber, at least from most that I've seen.

This really makes me reconsidering where should i take the car for alignment cause like you said "shops that deals with lower springs might have lil bit more knowledge than the ones usually work on OEM cars." I just found a good deal from Acura dealer for $35 promotion ($90 regular price) Since I already bought the coupon, i might give it a try and will post the after result...
