Ok, so I have decided then I will install the springs as well as front camber bolts and adjustable LCAs. Then wait two days, and have the car aligned back to a front camber of -1.2 and the rear adjusted to -1.7 and front and rear toe set to 0". Hows that sound?

Sounds reasonable :)

In the end I have decided these springs are not for me :o/ Kind of late in the going I know but I am just not comfortable with altering the suspension in this way, especially because Im afraid its going to upset the balance of the car too much on the race track...aka Im wussing out. Plus, i did not realize i would be investing another $600+ into getting the setup right. (camber bits, install, alignmet, ect.)
Too bad I already bought the darn things! Anybody want to buy? $200+shipping, new unboxed. is it ok that I post that here or should I post it somewhere else? |
Giving up when the going gets tough? If you ever plan on lowering your car it should be done correctly. Installation, I'm sure someone can help you with that and get it done cheaper than going to a shop. Alignment is almost automatic if you're going lower but it also depends how low. Camber kits, aren't something you need done right away but it seems as though you're afraid to compromise the integrity of your suspension set up. Anyways, don't just give in because you found out there's a domino effect in modding. Nobody says it'll be cheap, unless you want it done wrong.

I really wasn't aware that I needed to buy more suspension components to achieve the correct alignment after installation. Its more money than I wanted to spend at this point and Ive just decided Im not that that interested in lowering my car anyway. I agree with you 100% and I think if I do ever want to do it right I would just go with a full coil over package. But because this car will be daily driven 99% of the time, I dont see it as being practical. I just want to have fun on the track when the opportunity to do so is there. So my build goes as follows: slotted rotors, project mu ht+800 pads, motul brake fluid, steel brake lines, tanabe sustech sway bars and strut bars, Michelin pilot super sport tires. Those are to most cost effective/practical upgrades that I have found. In the end the springs just dont quite fit the build for me.

Btw thank you everyone for your help on the matter. If I would have done the due diligence in the first place before ordering I would not have ended up with a set of springs Im not going to use. I appreciate all the valuable input and I know much more now than I did going into this.
Also, as mentions earlier, if anybody is interested in taking advantage of my choice not to install, Eibach Sportlines for sale, unboxed $200+shipping, just message me. |
