Default Need help on springs!!!

I read some of the thread about lowering springs about Tanabe GF, Tein s-tech, Eibach pro kit, RSR...

I really want to drop about 1' not .5' or .7'...so it looks like Eibach and Tanabe is the only option, but I also seen some camber and alignment issues posted here...Anyone of you dont have any camber or alignment issue with Tanabe or Eibach?

any time you lower the car, especially when using wide than stock, and more aggressive than stock wheels/tires, you will throw off the alignment

How much it is "off" depends on your car (no two cars are the same as they all roll out of the factory with a variety of specs).

Your best bet is to buy both springs and a good rear alignment kit like SPC to ensure you are back in spec even once lowered.

Up front, you'll have more camber than stock but its a good thing. Toe, which is what kills tires, is factory adjustable up front, so no problem there

I have no camber kit on my car with stock shocks and the Eibach springs. There has been about 5000 miles since install and no inside tire wear. No issues here.
