HI,,,I PUT MY CAR A EIBACH PRO KIT SPRINGS I JUST GOT BACK FROM WHEEL ALIGNMENT THE RESULT LEFT FRONT CAMBER IS -.9 DEG. AND THE RIGHT FRONT CAMBER IS -1.7 DIG....DO I NEED TO PUT A CAMBER KITS ON THE FRONT ??? I HEARD SOME DSM THEY DID NOT PUT ANYTHING A CAMBER KIT ON THE FRONT IF YOU DROP THE CAR ONLY 1.3" TO 1.5"........AND THE REAR CAMBER IS PERFECT I JUST PUT SOME SPACER AND LONGER BOLTS FROM HOME DEPOT...RESULT IS BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT CAMBER IS 1.7 DEG.

From what i have read only the rear camber should be out of spec. The shop should have been able to tell you if the front was out. Im no pro on camber but there seems to be a big difference on each of the front sides.

a drop that low should require a camber kit for both F and R. Driving with the wheels and tires stuck up into the fenders at a vertical angle is murder on the tire and will cause the tire to wear extremely fast.

Its okay just check your tires. They maybe badly worn or they may be okay. There is no danger just hard on the tires. Eibach makes a camber kit to fit your car I believe.

there's also some discussion on this in "what's a good drop for eclipse '97-'99" thread.

YES, YES , YES get a camber kit. I didn't listen when people told me that and it took me forever to to get my tires from wearing. First a camber kit and then upgraded shocks. The stockers WILL NOT cut it.

Don't be like me and be a "I TOLD YOU SO'' boy.

First, remove caps lock.

Second, yes, get a camber kit, I learned the hard way. If you look at some pictures in my gallery, look how far off it is.
