springs????

so ive been thinking of lowering my fwd TL and i have a few questions.

first off
if i go with the
Eibach Pro-Kit Performance Lowering Springs
will i have to get camber kits or anything like that?

Also what would i need in addition(if anything) to the springs to lower the car?

and if you guys have any other suggestions.
sorry for the noob questions and thanks

in my experience in modifying imports, lowering a car with just a spring/strut combo will not significantly alter your camber/toe settings. Going to a coilover setup usually requires a camber kit. if you are just swapping the springs, you won't need anything else, but the question is a little vague.

Eibach Pro-Kit should not require an additional camber kit.... you should be able to get your car to stock specifications.

If you add an aftermarket strut kit (i.e, Koni) and you lower the settings more, you may need to get a camber kit, but not likely...

I had my 06 TL lowered about 2.0".. with no camber kit, and my tires got destroyed. My 08 TL-S has lowered 2" also, with a camber kit... no problems

I recommend getting struts eventually, because the sport springs will wear your struts down sooner... its not required, but its a good idea... Also, i dont think they even make any aftermarket struts for our car yet

you shouldn't have any problems as long as you install it the right way. It won't be bouncy, but will be a little stiffer than your OEM springs. The struts are the ones that makes your car ride stiff or soft.
