new struts/springs...prob w/wheels

We just put new struts and suspension on my girls eclipse...the back wheels look like they are leaning in towards the car...is there a way to fix without the camber kits? We havent put on the front suspension..could that be the problem? Will it fix after its aligned?

i might be able to fix it with just a normal alignment....

but if they recomend camber kits, use them. Plus chances are that the ******* shops in NoVa wont work on a car with modded suspension.

I have a couple shops that will, plus one is a performance shop so they shouldnt mind workin on it! I guess after we do the front tomorrow...get it in and get aligned...but I dont think she should drive it like it is, they really look like they are gonna fall off or the axle is gonna break! I didnt think she would need the kit because the drop was only like 1.7 or 1.8 inches...

it is "strongly suggested"

Youre right, I wouldnt recomend her driving to terribly far, or fast for that matter, until you get it adjusted.

any time you lower a car you need to get it inspected by someone who is reliable to check it. If nothing else but for the tires sake.If it is not right it will not perform correctlly.As a matter of fact it could actually make it worse than stock
