Eibach camber kit install
Eibach camber kit install
Has anyone installed this kit? I just got mine in the mail today, thinking of putting it in myself and getting it to the shop for an alignment soon after. Tips/suggestions? I was messing around with it and it seems that the adjustable center part rotates pretty easily. Whats keeping it from moving all over when its installed?
I'm also putting in some washers on my rear right (out 0.36 deg). My rear left camber was strangely dead-center after the drop. Thanks in advance!

I have the kit, but I paid a shop to install it. The rear kit did bring it within spec, but in addition washers were needed to get the camber dead on. The rear bushings are polyurethane and they made audible sounds for a couple months on bumps.
The guy screwed up on the front, he swapped the upper/lower ball joints on each side, dialed them out all the way, and they essentially cancelled out one another. The camber was the same before and after the kit install. So he had to re-do them...

Install is a bitch. you have to unblot the upper control arm. to get the passenger side eoutr you have to move the fuse box out of the way. also without the special wrench for the kit adj the camber is going to be a bitch. even with it its a bitch. one tip i can give you is to make sure the bolt holes are in about the same spot before installing them. one prob with that kit is that it movers your control arm out further and if ur dropped 2" the control arm will smash into the top of the wheel well. i had to shave my control arms alittle, but even on big bumps it would hit. i ended up setting springs on the normal koni perch instead of the lower. now everything is fine an in spec. i saw a total of about 1.25 degress of max correction not 1.5 so if ur dropped 2" or more u still may not be in spec.
is there degree marks on the kit? ive got the sheet that says how much camber my shit's out and was wondering if i could get it close enough till i could bring it in again to get an other allignment.
wilp: There are no marks on the kit.
vxcl: Im dropped less than 2", but thanks for the forewarning. I'll probably just install it and have a shop adjust it anyway, but what does the adjustment tool look like?
