Alignment Specs - Eibach Sportline Springs
Ok so I have zero experience when it comes to alignment and I would like to get some input on what I need to do and or tell the technician when I go in to get my alignment. My set up right now includes sportline springs from eibach and 18x9.5 ambit RE08.2 rims with 245/40/18 BFgoodrich tires. The rear tires/rims currently look perfectly flush but the fronts poke out about 3-6mm. I have driven the car around for 4 days now and I have rubbed once in the front during some hard cornering, and two times in the rear over fairly rough weight transfers... What alignment specs will 1) allow my front wheels to look flush, or more flush than they are now 2) maximize performance for my car.
And yes I am planning on purchasing some white-line camber bolts to allow for added adjustability in the front. Thanks in advance, sorry for being a noob...

Camber isnt adjustable. You need camber bolts up front if you want to adjust camber. Generally you want more camber up front. About .5 more than the rear. Adding camber up front will get rid of your poke.
Only Toe is adjustable stock. Zero or near zero toe up front for good tire wear and response. And Slight toe in, in the rear for stability. |

I would say -1.5 degrees in the front, with zero or slightly negative toe. -1.5 degrees in the rear. Best to bite the bullet now and get some adjustable rear lower control arms to fix the rear camber, especially if you plan on getting coils later on.

I'm staggered that they even fit considering the wheels width/offset/tyre size, I bet the inner wheel clearance would be virtually nil.

@zkahle - I'm happy for you bud & I don't doubt the springs effectiveness at controlling bounce for the most part but what I'm talking about is front inner wheel clearance to your stock strut with that setup & then you wanna add neg camber to it also ! Could you do us a favour & take a peep & see what clearance there is for you ?
ps: your wheels/car look awesome |
