Hi chaps
Got myself the eibach pro kit recently and stuck in the rears last night . All done within the hour and the 35mm drop sits well but I'm not impressed with the negative camber . I understand that i will need wheel alignment but is it likely that i will be able to bring the bottom of the wheel in enough to straighten it up . Not a fan of neg camber and before i start the front and go to the expense of hunter alignment i may revert to standard springs if i have no hope of sorting it . Anyone else fit the pro kit on rear with 18s ? , comments please. Its hard to show in a picture but I've tried .afterwheel.jpgbeforewheel.jpg
 
You should be able to bring it down to a reasonable level.

I actually managed to lose a bit more by replacing the worn bush in the joint where the camber bolt is. The more worn it is the more it sags and it's not expensive. I think I'm at around 1.5 degrees.
 
Thanks mate but I've had a change of mind now after studying the camber . I just don't like the look so I've pulled them out and put back the original . My original ones had one with blue paint marks so I'm thinking that maybe they where replaced with msport. Think the car looks ok as seen in the second pict . So I've now a set of eibach for sale . Fronts never fitted and rears where fitted with zero miles , never left the driveway . £100 for the boxed set ( collection belfast) . Will throw them up later with picts on the for sale .
 
I know what you mean, when I dropped mine on H&R the wheel angle was mad! Admittedly I was using 25mm spacers which I had to remove!

Surely you can simply adjust camber?
Lowered my M on h&r and no difference if anything go out nicely now:)

Once I removed 25mm spacers it wasn't so bad at all, the spacers just moved the wheels away from the pivot point so exaggerated the camber was all
 
theres a bolt on the bottom of the camber arm which allows you to adjust it positively or negatively, ive actually gone fully the other way, theres a conical washer which allows about 2 degrees of camber so you should be able to dial it back out.

this is mine... its safe to say , they have a lot of camber adjustment from the standard arms

i have adjustable arms , to really fine tune, PITA to fit, if i remember correctly the Diff had to come out.
