They work great! I'm actually surprised you didn't get the camber arms with the Eibachs, they threw my alignment completely off. I had some nasty neg. camber coming out of the install, and there was plenty of adjustment capability to bring them back to stock.

Lou was telling me (as I was watching) that the SPC arms do require a bit of drilling to install correctly though.

Ok, I'm not looking to break the bank, and my car won't ever see a street track (maybe some strip runs, or highway racing lol) But I'd at least like to lower it, and if I get a better suspension in the process alright. My point...


Should I stick with just springs and cam's or go with coilovers and not half *** it? Cause I wanna get the Tein ones with the EDFC so I can control the ride in the car and raise/lower it at will... But thats gonna come with a hefty pricetag lol.

I just dunno what to doooo! :ugh2:

IMO the car's stance is just fine. I would not lower it at all. Also because of speed bumps.

I dont mind the look. But I don't go over speed bumps at all. Once in the 4-5 ish months Ive owned it.

Maybe I just need more face time with it to find out, and also once I actually have the rims I want based on the wheel/tire/well profile...

I know on my tC at least it should be dropped at least 1-1.5 inches... Sucks, but I'm not gonna put anymore money into it than I have to right now...

I decided I wanted to lower it and get an alignment before deciding if I need the arms, but I can tell the camber is nearing 3 degrees now, so I'm going to get them and install them along with the wheels (if they ever come) and get the alignment after that.

Where did it require drilling if you don't mind me asking? I'm assuming you mean the toe bolts that require drilling out the hole a little to add them in and not the actual arms that require drilling.

stance is great for stock wheels IMO. go aftermarket with more aggressive offset and I think the car look a lot better a little lower with a more aggressive stance to match.

Chris, if you aren't going to see track time, you won't ever use coilovers to their full advantage. I would suggest springs, rear camber arms, and maybe sway-bars if you want less body roll.

no problem...I'm hoping I don't need the toe bolts installed, I think there is enough adjustment stock to get it back to spec.
