Installing a set of new Eibach springs on my 99 SEL. What bolts do the alignment kit bolts replace? Also getting an alignment later in the week but where should the lobes on the new bolts be pointed (away from the engine, towards the front,?????)

Thanks in advance!

You don't need any alignment kit with Eibach springs. Just install them and have your car aligned by a shop. Pull the top of the rotor and hub assembly twards you while you tighten up the 2 lower bolts. That will pull the max amount of positive camber from the play in the bolt holes. You should be will within the factory specs if your install goes properly.

Good luck!

You really only need the Eibach Camber bolts if you are on Sprints or Coilovers. (or springs that are as low)
I had an alignment done yesterday and the camber bolts installed and the guy told me that was the best $30 I could have spent. He said he was able to get the camber set perfect with them.
Good thing because I was wearing the inside of my tires with the stock bolts in there.

thanks I'll give them a call.

I've just been working and since my car has been vandalized I've just been lurking around here. I guess its the whole "I've been ripped off depression" I'll much happier when my car is fixed.

yeah i went through that 3 times last year.. i know how you feel man..

1st time - stole nothing.. destroyed Pioneer 900 deck in process.. didn't even take the deck..

2nd time - stole two universal mufflers.. 1 Nitrous bottle, 2 Diamond audio Hex 6 1/2 inch and other stuff.. total about $700

moved from that section of town..

3rd time - parked at train station 5 mins from my house.. broke rear quater panel window.. stole nothing.. started parking 30 mins from my house at a safer train station..

i been there man.. it takes some time.. but after a while you just accept the losses and move on..

i am sure matt can tell you how he felt when they stole stuff from his car last year too

Not Eibach, but nearly the same.
I bought the Ingalls from here, $23 shipping free.

I ordered the 3542, but on the box it said 3542PR. I guess I got the bolts with +/- 2.0 degree, even though I only need the +/- 1 .

Just picked up the car from the mechanic and the Eibach’s make the look SHWEEEET! He did not install the alignment kit though.

Araffio – I already bought the alignment kit so I might as well put them on. But what bolts do they replace?

Thanks
