Camber Plates on a T/A?

Hey guys,
I got a 97' T/A with the Eibach lowering springs. The springs gave me alot of camber in front, I was searching the boards looking to see if anyone had a similar problem and everyone seemed to just deal with it. Well I just spend around $400 on tires for the front and I don't want them to go to waste too soon. I was looking at Ground Control's website and found Camaro camber plates, I was wandering if anyone used these? and if these will also work on my T/A?

Camber plates are for cars that use struts.

You should be fine on camber. It shouldn't be much more than -.5 degs. But if your reall worried about take to a Alingment shop and they can fix you up to stock specs again. If that is what you really want?

Yeah I just want stock specs, so an alignment shop wouldn't need any sort of a camber correction kit? They would just use shims I am guessing?

Camber and caster is adjusted from the lower A-Arm. There should be plenty of adjustment. Folks have been running Eibachs for ages without anything special.

A little extra camber will improve your handling though.

Definitely get it aligned to stock specs. You're not going to notice the difference in handling. But you will notice your tires only lasting 2 months.
