alright well after having the koni's installed...my alignment was wayyy off. couldn't even drive back from the performance shop back to campus about an hour and half away b/c supposedly i would have worn out my tires badly. so i left it in dallas on sat. and came back on monday and took it to firestone 10 minutes away and got my alignment done....btw they are offering for the month of march lifetime alignment for $119.99...no stipulations and no BS. u could literally get your car aligned on a daily basis if u wanted. but anyways, they aligned my car and while driving on the highway it was pulling hard to the right. i didn't bother to take it back since i had to make it back to campus and since i had lifetime alignment i figure i would just take it back this weekend. but the tests show that my car is in the range that it needs to be in relation to camber and toe adjustment...so why is my car still pulling hard to the the right??? anybody have a clue what's going on?? could the installation of the struts having anything to do with this?? any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. thanks fellas.

I haven't put my rears in yet, but my alignment seems fine. I"m still gonna get one, but it's not that bad.

make sure your camber are within spec and are almost identical to each other. What i'm trying to say is if you got a negative 1.2 on the driver side front ,try to adjust the passenger front as close to negative 1.2 also. Most of the time, this procedure cure pulling and wondering. And if you want to eliminate the negative camber, just buy the camber kick that Eibach sells. Don't waste your time and money buying Stillen's camber kit unless you are into SCCA track racing type.

no need for camber bolts

i had H&R's and koni put in and my car tracked very weird.
i talked to the alignment guy and he said my toe was wayyyy
off. but to my surprise my camber was only like -.5 , get your toe checked again, my car traks fine now.

thanks for the replies guys....i'll take it back this weekend to have it re-checked. btw, i do have the eibach alignment (camber) kit, so that's why i was worried why even with the kit the alignment is still wayyyy off. back to firestone i go...hopefully they don't have faulty alignment machines

-.5 that's good...
what setup do you have?
I use sprint and i'm thinking to buy chamber kit, i didn't get it aligned yet, but using the most inexpensive tool i got (eyes ) it seems not too bad, what you guys think?

my setup is Progress Sport lowering springs and koni adjustables all the way around. alignment was horrible..but is a bit better after the alignment was corrected....but still has a hard pull to the right..i'll be takin it back to the shop this weekend to have looked at.
