Lowering

Nubz · 08-21-2010, 10:40 AM

I want to lower my Z using Eibach Pro springs and I want to know if I can get it alighned within the factory specs.

Thanks.

yes. you can get the front and rear camber adjusted enough from the factory as well with the eibachs

So you're saying that if I put a set of Eibach springs on, I can get it aligned within factory specs without getting a camber or tow kit??

Yeah i think most people on Ebiach don't get or need camber or a tow kit. My PG Z has the Ebiach lowering pro springs with no camber or tow kit and it's fine. I've got pics in the link and more in my profile feel free to check them out.

So when you got it aligned, the alignment shop was able to align it with no problems? I went to an alignment shop and was told that if I get Eibach springs put on that they would not be able to align it correctly without a camber kit. I was like WTF. I know I've seen Z's with Eibach's on and they didn't need a camber/tow kit.

Yes no problems i don't remeber the name of the shop.

I've been doing some reading on some of the lowering/springs post and it seems that some can get just an alignment without a camber/toe kit and some have to get the kit. Plus, Im putting one 20" wheels/tires next week and I want to lower it to. Im hoping I can just get an alignment and its all good.

Hey KaienZ34, is your PW Z lowered? I just looked at the pics with the 20's on it and it looks very nice. Im putting 20's on next week.

KaienZ34 · 08-21-2010, 09:55 PM

No, the white Z is stock ride height.

Well, your white Z looks great. What size tires do you have on it? Im putting 255/30-20 and 305/25-20 on mine.

I'm running the same the 255/30/20-F..305/25/20-R..I'm loving the wider tire looks really hot and it hooks up better. I've got the 7AT and when using the munal mode it still catches a second

What wheels you going with ?

The only thing that will be close to out of spec will be the front camber as that is not adjustable. Factory spec allows for up to -1.4 degrees. As you lower you will gain some negative camber from the factory setup (that is usually around -0.9).
