How much of a drop?

I think it's about 30mm (both ends).

Since posting the above I had camber bolts installed to get some negative camber at the front. Subtle tweak but the car feels more planted at the front, no rear camber.

I was wondering if it would rub against the fender and what if you go 18x9.0" wheels.. would it rub on bumpy roads (cracked streets)???

what about clearing 18x9.5 rears with 255/35s and 8.5s up front with 225/40s

With out knowing the offset, it's hard to say...

hate to bring back an old thread but how many of you guys have run the sportiness without rear camber correction? I want to know if i need rear LCA's right away or if i can get away without it for a little while (couple weeks, 2 months absolute tops)

gramicci101 · 06-10-2017, 11:14 PM

You can get away without them for a little while. You may not need them at all. You'll get static negative camber in the rear just from lowering; it just depends on how much you get and how even it is. I'm on RCE yellows and my rear camber came out to -2.0 on each side, so I don't need LCAs. If they're grossly uneven or you want the ability to adjust to a specific value, then you need them.

Get camber bolts or top hats for the front while you're in there.

Hallo guys! It's my first post here. My 86 will arrive in july! Meanwhile, I'm looking for a lowering kit. I would like to go quite low, but coilover + toe/camber arm woill be quite expensive, so I was looking to something less low, like the Sportlines. They look like they need arms, too, right?
And they look discontinued on Eibach website...
Thanks everybody!

noahfrs · 05-28-2018, 09:20 PM

did you need to adjust camber with the drop?

churchx · 05-28-2018, 10:43 PM

Yes. Both to put lowering springs or if changed height with coilovers, camber & toe will change, both from unbolting/rebolting changed parts and also from natural camber gain from lowering, alignment can get uneven/misaligned or camber might increase a bit too much for one's liking.

5 days after install, still probably has some settling to do. Sitting on 245/35/18s +35 offset. No rubbing, looks great. I came from the Eibach Pros and i honestly cant tell a difference in ride quality, maybe a tiny bit over very large bumps

EDIT: alignment is fine and unchanged with the exception of camber in back. Probably 1.5 degrees, but not enough for me to mess with it
