I just bought my first Z, an 04. I have had my garage install the Eibach springs and new tires, but they can't seem to get the alignment within specs in the front or rear. They are now talking about maybe needing some alignment kits. This is all over my head so any help would be appreciated.

 

its hit or miss but when you drop your car more then lets say about an 1" you might or might not need a camber kit to get your camber back within factory spec. its a case by case basis some can get it back some cannot. if you cannot, you can do 1 of 4 things. 1. keep it the way it is, have better handling and live with inner tire wear, have them rotated at some point to get the most out of each tire. 2. get camber kits which will allow you to get them back into spec. something like this: http://www.kinetixracing.com/index.a...&ProdID=8&HS=1
3. get different springs with a milder drop like the hotchkis and tein s-tech, you can generally get back within factory alignment specs with these springs. 4. put your stock springs back on, bleh, screw that. good luck with whatever you choose to do.

 

Thanks alot for the input. Will I need to worry about the car pulling to the side at all?

 

will not pull as long as they align it equal on both sides. I used to run with the Eibach's and you will not be that far out of alignment. Like mentioned above the little more negative camber that you gained will help with handling in the twistys.
