sup guys, i just put on my eibach pro kit about 3 weeks ago or so, and the rear is pretty damn low, and the wheels seem to tilt inward... its on stock shocks btw. So could the rear wheels be tilting in because of the shitty shocks? or do i need a camber kit? the front wheels are fine though... my buddy was drivin my car because i wanted to see how it looked, and the rear was looking very low and all tilted inward... not a good look. Just wanted to know if you guys have had the same problem, and what you guys did.

 

prob a camber kit. did you get it aligned after the drop? that should let you know if you need the camber kit.

 

yeap i got the alignment after the drop... anyone here with eibach pro kit having the same issue? i mean, i could see maybe that it might be the shocks dying, or already dead and the rear is riding on just the springs alone but i dont know... and it could be a camber kit... if i get a camber kit, do i have to install all four or can i just install the rear..?

 

shouldnt be your stock struts goin dead on you...i would think a camber kit is needed and thats it....and no, you can buy camber kits for front or rear wheels as a package...

 

did they give a printout of your specs ?

 

Dropping your car will cause your front and rear alignment to go into a negative camber (Top of the wheels pointing in) Eibach sells camber kits for the front and rear to remedy the neg camber problem. While negative camber will help your car handle better, but too much will cause the tires to wear on the inside.....

 

i installed eibach pro kit springs for my CL about 3000 miles ago. no problems yet, no camber wear yet either. im also on stock shocks with 108k miles

 

and ur sure ur rear wheels are pointing inward? hmm... so i guess ill go n buy the flippin camber kit for my rear two wheels.

 

read the specs from your alignment...i'm running a very small neg camber in my rear, never got a camber kit for it and tires are actually wearing very well...

 

Yeah if the car was aligned & the shop was able to get it within specs you shouldn't need a camber kit.

I would think if the shop was not able to do it right they would have told you. Or maybe the shop only did a front alignment & not the rear.
A lot of shops only do 2 wheel(front) alignments unless you tell them to do a 4 wheel(front & back)

 

hm.. im pretty sure they did front+rear... so im just gonna buy a rear camber kit just incase yanno... the front is fine though... i just hate how the front has more wheel gap than the rear.. argh! thanks for the help guys

 

if you're gonna get a camber kit.. slam that shit!

 

I don't see throwing $ away on a camber kit. I don't think you need it. You need to find out why you rear is the way it is. Again if the shop aligned it to within specs, you would not need a camber kit because the rear would have aligned fine.
To know for sure you need to contact the place that did it.

And for the record the front is the likely source for a camber kit. Not the rear. I've seen 2.5" drops align perfect on the rear on CL's.

 

hmm.. ok so i guess ill just wait it out see if my rear is fukin up... im goin down to va beach with my gf with the car so, ill see what hapens after i come back...
