Sportlines before and after camber correction
 
Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone who may have been in the same boat as me.

I installed Eibach sportlines a few months ago along with some larger wheels and tires. I loved the way the car looked but honestly I didn't like the way the handling had changed. It had significantly less rear traction under power and it felt like it understeered while just taking turns around town. I think I had something like -.1 camber in the front and -1.7 or so in the rear with zero toe on both. Anyways, it was a love (looks) hate (handling) sort of relationship.

I finally got around to installing SPC camber bolts in front and lower control arms in the rear and got another alignment with -1.3 camber and 0 toe in the front and -1.2 camber and +0.1 toe in the rear.

I fell back in love with the car :thumbup: While its probably still far from perfect, its loads better than what it was and I'm pretty sure I like it more than when it was stock (although that was awhile ago...)

Either way, if you are in the same situation I was in with the Sportlines, you might try to get some other suspension bits to make the car feel the way it should (IMO).

That's it. Carry on.

I'm in the same boat you were in. I have -0.5 in the front, -2.1 in the rear. Any tips on how you installedthe camber bolts? I have the whiteline 16mm in the upper bolt

The SPC bolts are designed for the top bolt and I'm not entirely sure about the whiteline bolts. Either way, you should be able to get more than -0.5 in the front with just bolts. On the SPC, I needed to put the tab away from the car for max negative camber. Maybe you have the tab facing the wrong way?

According to the SPC instructions, the camber bolts are for the lower hole.
