Or do i need to buy a kit like the SPC camber arms? thanks!

 

They are adjustable but if lowered too much they cannot adjust it all the way back to spec.

Would I need a camber kit for an Eibach prokit 1" drop?

 

Yes, at least I do. My camber is past the maximum.

 

Thanks...Which kit did you use... Oh Lawd camber and toe kits are expensive.

 

Same here with eibach, required rear camber and toe arms. Went with the stillen brand.

 

you can stay within factory tolerances even if you are lowered 1.2", as proven here on andy's car for the rear.... Again, it's not going to be the best toe and camber, but it's still within factory tolerance. Usually, anything lower than this, we recomend purchasing rear camber and toe bolt kits, such as SPC, JIC, Stillen ETC....

 

SPC camber arms and toe bolts are $220 shipped from www.iapdirect.com

 

just get two sets of SPC bolts.. that worked perfectly on my car that has 30mm drop.. cambers at something like -1.5deg, and that the limit.

 

I guess not all Z's are the same because mine could not be brought within specs as proven by my car

 

Eibach with a 1" on my 04.5 track required toe and camber arms for proper alignment. Their are great discrepences between the rear sub frame construction. I went threw four to find one that was perfect.

 

I just installed the eibachs on the rear with the SPC camber arms and toe bolts. Now I've got the front eibachs to install. Do you have any tips for doing the fronts?

 

Remove the lower control arm from the front member and unbolt the sway bar link to the control arm as well, remove strut tower brace, remove brake and abs lines, unbolt the bottom of the strut then the top and it will fall out, Just watch you abs wires when you pull it out and don't let it just fall out if you know what I mean.

 

Thanks,
Now when you say remove the lower control arm from the front member, do you mean the inboard connection point or the connection point where it attaches closer to the wheel? And yes, I'm not very knowledgeable about suspension systems. I did get the rear components on, but they seemed much less complicated. My local shop will install the front springs for $120.00 plus the allignment. I like doing this stuff myself if I can, but there is a point where you need help.

 

[QUOTE=scott west]Thanks,
you mean the inboard connection point

Yep the inboard, it will make this job easy.

 

OK, I'm going to give it a try. I guess I'll need a spring compressor to get the spring off the strut, right.

 

Actually no, I'm roughly 190lb and was able to compress the spring with one hand and put the nut on the mount. I normally would not recomend this but I have put springs on about 6 Z and all were the same as for the spring recoil.

 

OK, now i have the strut and spring off the car and i'm turning the nut thinking it will release the spring, but no, after I turned several turns, it started turning the whole screw that it's attached to. So you're saying that I can compress the spring and get the nut off that way? I tried to get a spring compressor but it was rented out.

 

Woah...Thanks for the info man...I was told $800+ for Stillen camber and Toe kit...Just couldnt justify paying that kind of money for it so I scratched the Eibachs off the list...They are now back on the list

I appreciate the info from everyone else as well...Thanks
