Alignment after installing new springs?

[Laztug]

BUMP! I am about to take my car to get aligned. I found this on Eibachs website. Is the bottom what it should be aligned to after you drop the car? or should it go back to OE specs?

Should I align my Steedas to these numbers?

Front Alignment:

OE Camber = -0.8 deg (+/-0.8 deg)
OE Caster = 7.2 deg (+/-0.8 deg)
OE Toe = 0.0 deg (+/-0.2 deg)
PRO-KIT Camber = -1.0 deg
PRO-KIT Caster = 7.5 deg
PRO-KIT Toe = 0.2 deg

Rear Alignment:

OE Camber = -1.2 (+/-0.8 deg)
OE Toe = 0.1 deg. (+/-0.2 deg)
PRO-KIT Camber = -1.4 deg
PRO-KIT Toe = 0.2 deg

Does steeda have anything coming with a little more drop, their products have always been pretty top notch and prices reasonable.

You don't need more of a drop, you need more tire.

I don't have my car yet. I'll get it Wednesday and have the springs installed. I'll let you know.

Lowering the car more than an inch all around may cause some clearance/rubbing issues. We are working on a few different spring options (variable, linear, etc.) though!

I was under my car today and noticed what appeared to be a pinion cam bolt on the inward toe link. Can someone confirm it is a cam bolt

Only toe is adjustable in the rear with the factory parts.

camber

Thanks for the quick reply

Rear camber can be adjusted with factory parts via upper control arm,the inner bolt hole is slotted.

camber bolts

Hey thanks for that info

I suggest at least roughing in an alignment before driving it around to "settle" the springs. No point in letting any significant adverse wear patterns get started, and measuring/adjusting camber and toe isn't as difficult as you may think. In most cases it just takes a flat area, a few common tools, and a little patience.
