ok here's the situation.... i got my eibach springs installed earlier in the week, everything is good. I have the stock wheels on right now though i have some new 265/35/18 nt05's with grids in my garage. I went to get an alignment today and was told that i need to get a camber kit for each wheel. Is this true? and if so where can i purchase?

So my other question is should i wait until after i get the alignment straight to put on the new wheels or would i be fine riding on the new wheels for a week until i can get the alignment. From the layout that the tech gave me:

Camber
front left : -1.9 (specified range -.6 - +.4)
front right: -1.2 (specified range -.6 - +.4)
front cross camber: -.7 (specified range -.5 - +.5)

rear left: -1.8 (specified range -1.4 - +.4)
rear right: -2.1 (specified range -1.4 - +.4)
rear cross camber: .2 (specified range -.5 - +.5)

Any help is appreciated thanks!! and where to get camber kits!

 

I dont know why you would need camber plates, even on the stock struts there is a good amount of camber adjustment that can be made. I am on springs and the same wheels you have, my alignment is at -1.7 in the rear and -1.3 in the front. And I could def go more negative if I needed/wanted to. Try going to a different alignment shop and see what they say. Hope this helps

 

any more suggestions? they dont have many reliable shops around here, might have to take it down a notch. shouldn't i be shooting for around -1* camber on all 4? How much negative camber does it take to make a noticeable difference in tire wear?

 

Generally you want more negative camber in the rear than the front. And theoretically any amount of - or + camber will cause tire wear. But I would say that it becomes very noticeable wear with more than -2 degrees. I do my own alignments so it is just weird that this shop says that you need camber plates to do an alignment, thats just a lie lol.
