Default Eibach springs for the Z

I just put the Eibach Pro kit on my car and i need to have it realigned. Does anyone know the specs to realign the Z with these springs on it so i can give it to the guys to put it in their allignment machine.

The toe specs for the rear are different for 17's & 18's. Why would you put the 17's back on? You afraid they will damage the 19's?

No, the guy that does my allignment and stuff has a machine but it will not fit 19's on it. The biggest the machine can do is 18's. Plus winter is coming and im going to put the stock rims on for the winter anyways. Im in jersey and anyone here knows that winter can be kinda tough on rims sometimes.

Alot of the places around here can't even do 18's let alone 19's. I'm originally from Jersey so I know about the lovely winters.

You should still let me send you the proper specs.

So if your lowered on 19s w/ Eibachs you don't align it to stock specs? Why? Should I use the ones posted above? Do I need a camber kit in the rear?

Camber kits aren't mandatory. It all depends on the individual car. Some have needed it some haven't. Get an alignment and find out. If they can't get within specs then get a kit.

Why would alignment specs be different for different sized rims? It doesn't make any sense. Before I go in for my alignment, I will take off my 19's and slap on my OEM 17's. It's shouldn't make a single difference unless you have a very different offset between the two sets of wheels, as it affects camber.

The offsets may be different ....never paid any attention. According to the specs it's only the rear toe that is different...quite a bit too.
