My car is at the shop as I'm posting this. In addition to the alignment, the guy there said I need a camber kit because my front driver side was at -1 camber. So, I guess you do need a camber kit if you're going with Sprint's.


I like the drop of the front, but the rear is a different story. I thought about having Sprint's in the front and Intrax's in the back, but that would be a weird setup; two different springs on the same car. So, I guess I have to live with the higher rear end now.

 

If I remember correctly, -1 is in factory specs. Just make sure that its the same side to side.

 

How long have you had ur sprints in. Mine was pretty high in the back as well, but then after a couple weeks it became noticeably lower. I think mine has settled all the way now and the back looks ok. Just my 2 cents though, I rather have my car look high in the back then it sagging like some honda accords look like when u lower them.

 

In case you end up needing the camber kit, Cheston has on in the FS forum.

 

how much do camber kits usually run?

 

I think spec is around -.90 or -.92. You only need a camber kit if you want it exactly back to spect. A bit more negative camber is good for performance. So i left mine as is.

 

-1.0 camber is nothing! Most sportscars run -1 to -1.5 camber. Your inner tires shouldn't wear out much sooner than the rest of the vehicle (if your toe specs are okay, too).

I run -2.5 on my little autoX beater car..

 

Well, I got the camber kit anyway. Maybe the camber isn't as bad, but you know how expensive tires are these days; good ones anyway. Maybe I misheard what the guy said, the phone was breaking up, so I'm not too sure if it was -1 camber or more.

 

if the back sits higher, put some weight in it for a couple weeks, such as a sub box, and it will help the springs to settle

 

I got my car back today. Total price was $186.50! The alignment itself only cost $64.95. The camber kit wasn't expensive either, only $31.95, but the labor was what really cost the most, $69.00 for labor! Add onto this was the misc shop supplies and sales tax. Btw, the camber kit was called EZ CAM; never heard of it. Expensive, but I hope it's all worth it.


Also, now I got a better look at the rear, dang...it sure does sits high! I really, really hope that it will "settle".
