Default alignment ? for those with Eibach

Just installed a set of eibach pro's and man are the rears kicked out now. Question is, I know I have to have the alignment done but have you been able to get the rear back to spec without adjustable camber or traction rods. I am going to order the adjustables but dont want to waste my time on two aligments if I really cant get them back to spec without the adjustables.

Thanks

I read a post recently that was saying even with an alignment, he couldn't get his car back to spec in the rear after adding the Eibachs. Do a search, this was not long ago at all, like just a few days ago.

I just had mine aligned after a month with them on and although I don't have a printout, printer was broken, the tech said the front camber was at the limit -1.33 on both sides (which is interesting as one side was already at -1.3 before eibachs and the other was at -.8) but the toe was out which he was able to adjust.

As for the rear he was able to adjust the camber within limits but the toe was off and couldn't be brought back in all the way, just slightly out.

Camber on both front & back are off but the toe is within limits all around. I've ordered the camber rods for the rear and will have to wait until aligned again to see how it affects the overall measurements.

While we're on it, when I get my camber adjusters, who should I give them to to have installed? Should I get them installed WITH my springs, or after, during alignment?

Although it would probably save you a llittle in labor since you aowuld be in the area to do it at the same time, it would do you no good as you would have to align it at that time and then again after the springs settle which witht he cost of alignments it would probably not save you anything.

I would wait until you are going to align it after using the springs for a while.
