Megan lowering springs-rear camber kit for a 1g to correct toe/camber?
I am a noob when it comes to suspension, i know a bit but not enough. I like the stock ride height so i can go off road in the 1g, but i wanna lower it (First time doing this).
I know with the eibach sportline or pro not sure which can be run on 1g awd with out having to get or make a camber kit. Not so sure about the megan lowering springs.

Will i need a camber kit for the rear/front? What about the toe can that be adjusted back in to stock specs without a kit, or making something (diy/homemade parts).
I am choosing this cause for 100 off most venders on here why not, and i have heard a few people (dsm, 240, etc) are fine with these and like em.

I am fine with a few degrees of camber but would still like to know, about in toe in/out and camber with these. I know what camber and toe is. I know toe is what eats the tires faster, camber is fine as long as its in -/+1.5-2.0 degrees and mostly affects cornering as opposed to toe which is a constant thing .

I am pretty sure i will need to get an alignment, but how about using the stock struts, i know the rears may be a bit of trouble, but money is tight. I would rather get spring now, then kyb's latter in a month or so, then after i get more money i wanna go coil overs.

I am not worried about taking the springs off cause i have done this before and i have a spring compressor for this.

I need to know about the camber and toe with these springs thanks.

An ideal setup for me is -2.5*F and -1.5*R camber. I like how the car likes to oversteer more at these settings. Regardless of which springs you get, you should get both front and rear camber kits if you want the car to drive well. On the rear toe, I will be working to get some Toe Eliminator kits made soon.

I'm sure you've heard this before, but save up and get what you want. Do it once
 
I just got my megan lowering springs, and front and rear camber adjusters yesterday. Took 3 hours to install everything. Just needs to be aligned. Let me know if you want any pictures.

What do you mean by toe eliminator kit?

There used to be a kit that eliminated the rear toe but its no longer sold.

Did you have to buy a alignment plates etc to correct the lower or was the local alignment shop able to do this with out a camber kit? Also what springs did you use? Thanks the car looks so much better lowered.
 
Here are the links to all the items I bought to do this. 212$ for it all shipped to my door. Plus your gonna want to invest in a can of PB plast. I did my alignment myself wasnt to hard took 25 mintes to adjust everything. rides great. I got a sqeek in the back now though :cry: But thats all part of modding cars.

Oh and I rented a strut spring compressor from autozone for 40 buck get your money back when you return it.
