hi, i'm planing on getting some eibach springs soon and wanted to make sure that i don't need any sort of alignment correction kit.



thanks

you might. Take it to a local shop like NTB, Tireplus etc...They do it pretty cheap

 

I had to install the adjustable rear camber piece

 

The Eibach springs will lower your car almost an inch.... this will give you greater negative camber. You may like this additional camber as it will be give you greater cornering performance. On the other hand, it will cause your tires to wear uneven and may also cause the car to have a twitchy feel in the steering....... Do the install and see how it feels..... if u don't like it, get the camber adjust rod from Racing Beat or Mazdatrix and reduce the amount of negative camber.

thanks guys, do you think that it will be accelerated tire wear i mean are we talking drift camber or good street camber? because i do like to take those turns fast and don't mind a little extra camber but i don't want to have to let out a lot of air out of the tires to get grip.

When you are cornering, the body of the car will tend to roll, lifting the inside tread and giving you less grip. Negative camber will keep the tread on the ground giving you more grip...... like i said... alot of negative camber will wear the inside treads more than the outer.

 

It adds quite a bit to the rears and not enough to the fronts. I've added another 1-1/2 deg to the front for autocross and could stand to take out a little in the rear.

 

ok i know how the camber works i just don't want to wear my tires out on a month. thanks again for the info guys

 

Would it wear the tires out in a month? How long will tires last?

 

I dont have that problem on my Eibach, well just sold it today with the shocks for 370...
