They're only ~$20 so if it's going to handle better or protect my tire wear its worth it. Any reccomendations?

No, the Stillen camber plates are not at all necessary. Plus, they're ~$250, not $20. Also, although handling does generally improve with more (negative) camber, if you go beyond a certain limit, you'll start wearing the outside of the front tires really badly. -1 degree negative camber gives decent tire wear and good handling...you could maybe go up to 1.25-1.5...but the camber plates give wayyy more adjustability than that (up to -3 or so), and you won't need it.

I would recommend, however, getting some camber adjustment bolts to allow you to dial in the camber better. I think that's what you're thinking of. The stock setup has fixed settings...lower the car, and it's up to the car to decide what camber you get. The bolts replace the top strut-to-knuckle bolts and have a small cam on the side that dial in different camber when you rotate them. You can add or decrease camber by ~1 degree. I paid $35 for the set. Try Ingalls Engineering at http://www.ingallseng.com. They can refer you to a local distributor.

 

It's an "alignment kit" I just read camber when I skimmed so I was assuming it was the camber plates. Thanks for the response and clarification. BTW part number is 5.83450K and you can get it at car parts for $25.25.

 

Is the same recommended for H&R springs?

 

not carparts!

 

I like the idea of eibachs and the alignment kit for under $200.

 

But will you get them in a reasonable amount of time? Also, will they be the correct springs? Hmmmmmm........

 

You got a point... the air pressure guage I got from them turned out to be a pry bar set. I did eventually get the air guage and I got to keep the pry bars too. Too bad I don't need them. Any recommended sources for the springs then?

 

I saw a thread today with a $210 quote... Hogan (yo_its_ok) sells them for $220(?)...

 

Listen to me-

Carparts.com sucks ***! I ordered springs, and first they sent the wrong ones. I installed them and they popped off the shock. While I was driving. I had to get that repaired to drive it home. So I call em and they say it was Eibach's fault??? Carparts.com has two Eibach spring sets for 2K Maxima- when only one works. 6350.140 Make sure that is the one you get!!!!

They are trying to make me pay all the costs ($300) to fix their error. Is that worth 33% off the first time? Nope...

Go to yo its ok or someone other than carparts.com

Don't worry about the comments... if that person wants to take a chance with CarParts then let them be. Don't come crying to us when your part doesn't arrive or you get the wrong part. I have to admit that they do have some good pricing, but is it worth the gamble?

 

So can you actually see the alignment kit with the wheels on? As long as it works properly, I don't care what it looks like with the wheels off, I just don't wanna look like an idiot
