I just recently installed an Eibach pro kit lowering springs and I like how it looks as far as stance. Had some clanking issue but it was resolved. Now, after the alignment was done, I’m showing 1.6 red status on my front left tire, which where was the clanking sound came from. According from the alignment shop, I need camber bolts to take it to green status. I saw some needing cam bolts and some don’t. I was told it’s at the borderline and it’s going to be alright. Any input is appreciated. Thanks folks.

dude... you need to learn what an alignment is, its purpose, and what those numbers mean.

your camber should be about equal on both sides. if it isn't its probably cause your toe isn't right.

I like .05 toe each side front. Your settings might tramline. Front camber is fine. Rear camber I'd like to see -1.5 with your front camber settings, rear toe is fine.

Overall not bad I have seen a lot worse.

Good to know sir and thanks. I was told it’s not bad and really, my only concern is the rear tires because that’s where it bites the road.

I would take it back and see if they car get the right rear camber to equal the the left rear. That right rear is almost 1/2 a degree off from the left side.

Thanks sir. I’ll get the bolts next week and get the alignment done again for $5.00. They have to do the install for warranty purposes but it’s ok.

you can barely “adjust” the rear camber, you’re not gonna be able to get them both the same since you lowered it. you’re gonna need the steeda rear camber kit if you want them to adjust it perfectly. for the front camber, you can just use regular camber bolts. had the same issue with my 2016 when i lowered it. alignment looks okay just needa get the camber fixed or you’re gonna be wearing out your tire unevenly.

I got the minimum drop set on mine and Steeda suggests -1.7 in the front and -1.5 in the rear so you're still fine. I also think mine dropped me closer to an inch than a half inch but it works. Its just right. I'm already scraping my jacking rails over this speed bump by my work unless I just crawl over it.

If you get a rear camber kit look at the J&M, beefcake has them and much better price than the steeda kit. I have steeda only because I picked them up used for $60 but never would have purchased them new for the price they want.
