Title: Eibach Springs
Post by: andrew38 on 30 May 2011, 22:31:53

I have taken the plunge after both rear springs being broken to replace with Eibach's with a a 30mm lowering, these will be fitted with Bilstein B4's to a 2.6 saloon, my question is when the car is lowered does the tracking need redoing and if so does the car still use the standard geometry setup on a lazer alignment rig? Also do Eibach front camber bolts need to be fitted?

Thought I would ask before fitting because I believe a lot of owners have fitted this combination to their cars.

Thanks

Wim will account for sport suspension with increased camber, and if camber is altered which it MUST be, then toe will need setting also. Full geo set up for you, so take the opportunity to fix any other steering or suspension issues prior to set up.  :y

I thought I would have to get it re-aligned so thanks for confirming, do I need to get the camber bolts if they don't come in the box?

when you say camber bolts i geuss you're talking about the bolts on the front shocks they don't come with them but i reused the old ones without any problem i doubt you need to replace them, hth

i think there is some confusion here.

Andrew us refering to using EXTRA adjustment bolts, to give an even greater range of camber adjustment then is already available in the front shock bolts.

As you may not be aware andrew, the omega front suspension has camber adjustment built in, so no need for aftermarket adjusters.

There should be enough adjustment there to compensate for the 30mm drop i would say

No need for camber bolts as said.

Omega camber can be set to almost -3.00 degrees which is rediculous, you need no more then- 1.40 at the absolute most as irmscher recommend for example. But forget all that, Wim will set 1.10 to 1.20 which is fine.
