front camber problem after lowering....

hey guys, i put eibach sportlines on a while ago and my front tires are wearing on the inside due to the slight camber on the front. i dont see any fix for the problem other than using springs that are not as low. anyone know of a fix?
thanks....

Re: front camber problem after lowering....

did you have it aligned? What specs did you use? Was the alignment shop able to meet those specs within the range of adjustment provided by the slots in the lower A-arm?

If they couldn't reach the specs, you might need a set of the upper A-arms with the adjustable rod ends.

im not sure what the specs are at. they put the springs on and then did an alignment.....what specs should i be using??? im thinking that the adjustable upper A arm is what may need to be done....

Thanks!

The seat is the Forza, about the cheapest one Corbeau makes. I got it for under $200 in a group purchase - I think it was LS1Speed.com. Plus $60 for a sliding mount made specifically for the 4th Gen F-Body. Very easy to install, since it mounts to the stock floor holes.

There are some alignment specs in the 4th Gen FAQ. I used -1.0deg Camber, +4.0deg Caster and 0.1 toe with a 1.8" drop. Worked well, and they were able to set it that way within the stock slots.
