I've had my Eibach Pro-kit installed for nearly 8 months and decided to get the alignment done today. I took it to Lexus of Richmond Hill and they did their best to align all 4 wheels. It took them more than 1.5hrs to do. They aligned the front pretty well and reduced the toe in. However, they said that the rears couldn't be aligned 90 degrees due to the lowering springs. There's still a slight 5-10 degree camber. Were you guys able to get the rears to 90 degrees or is this the best adjustment that can be done? I just want to minimize the inner tire wear prior to installing my new wheels sometime in May (hopefully).

 

I have to get this done myself yet. What did they do in the rear? can you scan that for us? I was under the impression all that could be done is the TOE on the front and you should just be with in spec. The rears are what they are...

This week I am going to do it. Its been 2 months and I have had the new rims and tires on for 2 weeks so I have to get this done...

 

well... i haven't done mine yet since i put in my prokit, say 500mi on the springs AND i'm glad i didnt, gonna be pulling off the springs for something different soon

guys if you have a 350 DON'T get 350 springs, get 250 ones (for the cheep route), the drop is too minimal...

 

I got mine aligned two weeks after the Eibach installation, with no problems (that I am aware of)...

 

5-10 degrees of camber?!? Thats insane. I hope its a typo or exageration. I installed my Eibachs myself, and did the alignment myself and got 1.5 degrees of negative camber all around. This is still within factory spec, so im happy with it. Camber is non-adjustable on the 2IS. Only toe is adjustable.

 

How much does the dealer charge for alignment? Does having aftermarket springs void any warranties?

 

How did you do this??? and Its the fronts only correct?

 

Do share why please?

???? Mine seems to be pretty good for a 350 on 350 springs

 

Unless you're a baller and roll on 20's... I have a 'NO FINGER' gap front and rear.

 

I think he was referring to Eibach springs.

 

Show OFF haha...

 

I think he meant .5 and 1.0. Well within spec.

 

My brother is doing my aligment on Tuesday. Ive had the Eibach prokit installed for around 2 months now (about 2000 miles). Ill report back since my brother is doing it.

 

Basically any car that is dropped will have a camber issue unless you install adjustable camber links. the reason this occurs in the rear is b/c those are the driving wheels. on my last car, audi s6, i had that issue at all 4 corners but didnt want to pay 600 for the adjustable camber links as tires only lasted 10-12k anyway.

point: either do nothing about it or buy adjustable camber links...

 

That is not true. Depending on how much you lower it, the stock camber adjument may be enough to set it at the proper level. For instance, when I had a 1991 GSX, when ever you lowered them, the rear camber would be completely out of whack because the stock adjustment barely allowed any adjusment at all: Therefore, aftermarket rear camber modifcations were needed. On my 2005 EVO, after lowering it, I could adjust the camber to be positive still. This didnt need any camber modifications as the stock adjusment was enough to put it in spec.
