should be able to get it within tolerable limits without buying anything. But if you want full adjustability, you would need adjustable toe links, camber plates (front), and adjustable control arms. I believe steeda has all of those parts and more!

jeez that's a lot to buy for a proper alignment, i was going to go with sportlines but now re-thinking it, would I be able to get away with just camber bolts up front and not camber plates?

You don't need anything to get it within specs that won't add additional wear to the tires. I don't have access to the print out of my alignment but it was almost the same as factory. You shouldn't need additional parts in the hands of a capable suspension shop for springs. Anything more than 2" drop though from my understanding, needs camber adjustment capability outside of factory parts. Our cars already have camber bolts to adjust.

Your passenger side front camber will be like -1.7 which is within spec but if you want less you can just get BMR camber bolts and youll be fine. No need for plates that cost like 200 bucks

Calling all Sportline users. Are you aligned well without extra parts? I was on pros and now going to Sportlines. I had a decent alignment with the pros.

You'll be fine. My camber is at -1.5 or so in the front without any additional parts. Go to a good shop that will take time to do it right, and show them the specs that you want it to be aligned to.

Just had Eibach install sportline's and they did an alignment. The car was at the high end of factory specs, but still within factory tolerance.

I've got these springs too. Going in this afternoon for alignment, so I'll post my experience afterward.

Note that CJPP recommends the below, although it is not clear if the recommendation was from Eibach, or CJPP themselves;

Front End Alignment Specifications:
- OE Camber: -0.8 deg (+/- 0.8 deg)
- OE Caster: 7.2 deg (+/- 0.8 deg)
- OE Toe: 0.0 deg (+/- 0.2 deg)
- Sportline Camber: -1.2 deg
- Sportline Caster: 7.5 deg
- Sportline Toe: 0.2 deg

Rear End Alignment Specifications:
- OE Camber: -1.2 deg (+/- 0.8 deg)
- OE Caster: N/A
- OE Toe: 0.1 deg (+/- 0.2 deg)
- Sportline Camber: -1.6 deg
- Sportline Caster: N/A
- Sportline Toe: 0.2 deg

Since my car is a toy for fun, autocross, and track days, I may try to go with more negative camber up front, and a bit of toe out...

Good information everyone thank you!

Quick question, ?I just installed the Eibach pro line kit with sway bars. I got into a hurry and put the car up on stands before measuring to figure the drop!:doh:
I seen a guy who posted a thread ( but can't find it) who was measuring 27.5" on front after Eibach pro's. I measured mine and I'm right at 26.5 front and 27.25 back. I haven't even moved the car yet, just set it down because of snow. That's an extra 1" of drop from what I seen. Plus I don't know if they will settle more once driving. Any one got their measurements of a base PP before lowering? Thanks

Hey guys, here are my alignment results on my Eibach Sportlines. All stock suspension parts except for the springs. They were installed several weeks ago, so the car has been fully settled. Note the before scenario, under the diagnosis column, my front had both wheels pointing to the left a little bit. Since my car is not a daily driver and I wanted it to be aggressive for autocross and track use, I had them keep a decent amount of negative camber up front and in the rear, and remove the positive toe from the rear to keep it from pushing as much in corners. Went a bit negative toe in the front to help with turn in. So far I only have about 25 street miles on it, but it definitely doesn't feel nervous or darty.

BTW, my auto surgeon located in Rocklin, California is an awesome shop, and the technician Justin totally understands modified suspensions and high-performance alignments, and both the S550 and S197 mustangs. Highly recommend them if you are anywhere near the Sacramento area!

If you had the 2 piece compressor? You had them upside down I made same mistake when I started.
