Eibach Camber Kit

Does anyone have a Eibach camber kit installed on their TL? I have a 02 TL and I got a really good deal on front and rear eibach camber kit but dont really know if they are good. I heard Ingalls are the best for a TL? Does anyone have any info about em?

All I have are rears on my Tl and they are SPC. I bought Eibach but SPC makes the kit for them. They work awesome and were very easy to install.

Im not to sure what your asking but it sounds to me like you want to install ur rear kit then bring it to get aligned? I think they usually align it after you have installed the camber kit anyways so you shouldnt have any problems.

Thx for the responses, im probably gana go with the eibach front and rear set. This is my 3rd set of tires in 3 seasons. And i live in canada so i dont have my rims on for a several months in the winter. Hopefully this solves my problem.

I have told this story on another post but I will do it again. I will explain my situation on my 2002 TL-S. I installed Comptech Sport springs. The springs lowered my car about 1.5 inches. When the car was done the rear wheels were noticably tuck in at the top. I knew before I even put it on the machine that I needed rear kits for sure. I have an advantage because I work at a dealership and we have a state of the art alignment rack. When the car was on the rack the fronts were well within spec but the rears were .7 and .5 out. The spec should be zero. There is no camber adjustment of any kind on the factory rear upper arms. I did some research and decided to get an Eibach set of rear adjustable arms. When I got the arms they came with SPC instructions. I later found out that SPC makes the kits for Eibach and Comptech. The arms are very heavy duty. I took them apart and anti-seized the threads so that they would turn easy in the future. I made the arms as close to the size of the factory arms that I could and mounted them. We then put the car on the rack and adjusted the rear wheels dead on perfect at zero. It took a whole 10 minutes. The arms adjust very easily. We then adjusted the fronts to the rears for a perfect alignment. The car drove, handles and looked much better then it did before anything was done. I hope this helps.

Thx man that was a great help? The guy selling me the eibach's said there were no arms that came with the kit? Is this true? all camber kits come with arms no?

You dont happen to have a picture of your front and rear kit do you, it would be great to compare the kits? Even a link to a picture would be great....!!!

Rear upper arms is the ONLY way to adjust camber in the rear. Unless you slammed your car to the ground the odds of you needing fronts is pretty remote. I would install the rear upper arms and get it aligned. I cannot belive people lower their cars and do not need rear kits. Every car that we have lowered in our shop has needed rear kits. There must be people who love buying rear tires.
