back to specs with eibach sportlines
as the title states, i am just wondering if anyone has had any luck with getting the front alignment back to decent specs with the eibach sportline springs with out a camber kit. after searching a bit, i hear that in some cases they may settle to a 2" drop. i am torn between these or the pro kit springs. i am just hoping that i will be okay without the front camber kit with sportlines cuz i really want more than a 1" drop. please help me... at least i tried searching

there is no way you will ever get the front back to spec without a camber kit on a spring that lowers the car that much. Even with a prokit, the chances of it still being within stock specs up front without aftermarket arms are slim
as for sportlines + stock struts...might look cool, but if you want the car that low, and you actually want to retain good handling, springs are not the right way to do it

thanks for the replies guys! yeah after thinking about it and a little more searching i decided the slammed z will just have to wait til i can get some coilovers. for now im pretty sure im going for the gf210s. i like that drop. will my front alignment be reasonable with those springs? (by reasonable i mean my tires wont be gone in a couple thousand miles but at the same time good handling) btw i am already for sure getting the spc rear alignment kit.

some people say no but i think 1 inch you will be able to come close to stock specs if anything they will prob wear about the same time your rears do so its more practical that way anyways haha. Im getting my eibach pros on wednesday or thursday and i only ordered the rear camber for now couldnt see spending the money on the front till i know im gonna need it.

Don't confuse static alignment with what's important [driving 60 mph real alignment] just because you can use some aftermarket kit [gimmick] to get the sitting still alignment back into range.
The lowering changes the camber curve SHAPE which can only be TRUELY FIXED by changing the suspension attachment point on the chassis.
Just like lowering changes the angle between steering rack and tie rod ends.
