Everything is within the specified range... BUT, if it was ME performing my OWN alignment, i would try to get everything exactly in the middle of the specified range.

You have alot of neg camber. I dont know if rear camber is adjustable?

**Nomar06** · 03-18-2008, 09:55 PM

rear camber should be -0.8 and front should be at 0....not sure about the other stuff.

eugenekim.net · 03-18-2008, 09:55 PM

MORE NEGATIVE CAMBER UP FRONT!!!!!! hahaha

eugenekim.net · 03-18-2008, 09:56 PM

stock rear negative camber is around -2.2... i dont know everyone thinks that is it close to negative one because it isn't.

TheBlackBullet · 03-18-2008, 11:15 PM

all i have is the eibach prokit...need a camber kit still

***pgFA*** · 03-19-2008, 12:49 AM

Thats a decent alignment but I would've asked the rear toe to be closer to 0.0.

ortivt6 · 03-19-2008, 01:00 AM

Tell me u got their LIFETIME alignment... I got mines when I had my old FG2 for $129 and then transfer it over to my new FA5....

TheBlackBullet · 03-20-2008, 01:13 AM

No i didnt get the lifetime alignment..they told me about it but i didn't do it..only 129?..

***pgFA*** · 03-20-2008, 01:19 AM

Normally its $169 and you can go as often as you want. Maybe you can still go back and tell them that you just want the lifetime if thats what you want. It also works w/ any firestone so you get to go to different stores and pick the shop w/ the most knowledge about alignment. Thats what I did.

yup all that plus ur allowed to transfer it over once if u trade or sell ur car and get another one... I transfer mine from my FG2 to my new FA5...

Ohh an I pay $129 cuz it was a sale goin on... dont know if they still have that price... but at a one time fee of $79 if u go twice is more than the lifetime...

I had lifetime alignment on my EM2, I used to get mine done every six months, didn't know it was transferable, I should call them and find out.

QUESTION: Actually its more like a question which wasn't answered. PLEASE ANSWER IF YOU KNOW FOR SURE, NOT IF YOU "THINK" YOU KNOW OR "ASSUME" YOU KNOW.
I lowered my car with the Eibach pro kit okay, so, 1) Do I need a camber kit, and 2) How much exactly, after the car has settled, does it lower my car?

Thanks for all the replys btw.

***pgFA*** · 03-20-2008, 02:37 PM

ANSWER:
1) NO recommended yes
2) Mine did about what the average drop for those springs 1.2" front and 1.0" rear. Mine's a sedan though. I've had it for a little over a month.

so if its recommended, what's the brand you went with? Cost? Is this a do it yourself kinda install?
As far as the "average" part of your drop comment...what is average?

zumzumzoom · 03-20-2008, 03:03 PM

I went with SPC Camber kit. It's less expensive than the Skunk. Not as good looking as the skunk is though but nobody is going to really see it. Also the SPC is adjustable w/o taking the arm off. I have yet to install it but it doesn't look very hard. The front is just two bolts on the shock that you change out. The rear are whole arms but it's only a few bolts to take them out. Cost for SPC F&R will be around $260. I got mine through SCTuned.com (site sponsor) Fast service great prices.

stargate69 · 03-20-2008, 03:24 PM

10 x!!!

ortivt6 · 03-20-2008, 05:19 PM

SKUNK2 all the way.... had them on my FG2 for 5months and now on my FA5 for 3months... u can adjust them all the way up +-3 degree and it adjust better than the SPC which I seen... Ohh an its lighter than stock n stronger... here mines:

ortivt6 · 03-20-2008, 05:21 PM

I paid $190 for them on ebay... they also come in silver...
