    Just lowered my car with Steeda sports springs. Before I take it to get aligned should I get the Maximum motorsports caster camber kit? I'm not sure if it can be aligned without it or not :shrug:

    i think you can go without em. the tires arent leanin way in at the top. they are almost straight up so i think youll be ok. looks nice btw

    could you maybe take a pic where you hold a ruler perdendicular with the ground next to the tire. the body lines really mess with properly identifying camber, that being said, theres nothing wrong with buying the plates just to make your alignment tech love you.

    judging from the pics i'm gonna say you are between -1.8 and -2.0 camber on both sides.

    Total or per side? I usually have mine set at 1.5* negative each side but I sure couldnt eyeball it. Is -1.5 too much for a street setup?

    1.5 is too much for street use.

    I just ordered the Eibach full kit, struts/shocks/pro springs for $640. Supposed to have the best ride and good handling. Have to wait and see when they get here.
