Id rather get some intrax springs v.s. eibachs cuz of the extra .5" drop but I heard from a list member that you cannot align the car with 18's and intrax springs. Is this true? Thanks

that's not true at all. Be sure to get the alignment done after lowering...very important for proper tire wear.

yes, what howie said.

anytime you put springs on your car, you have to get a 4-wheel alignment or else you get bad camber wear.

If you want the extra drop, might i suggest you get some supra TT eibachs. intrax springs are bad...

I got my car alined with 19in wheels after my eibach and tokico install with no problem. Find a shop that has the correct machine though or they may strach your wheels.

Yeah i have also heard that intrash springs are bad. If you want the extra drop get some supra Eibach springs with supra struts. They will give you that extra drop you are looking for and the springs are alot better than intrax.

Im telling you guys , The stock camber kit aint working for my car, Ive taken it to Bear Alignment twice and both times they said my car was too low to fix.... Whatever you do, don't go more than 1" unless someone out there knows if they sell 2degree camber kits?

I agree with SC4oo,

My alignment shop (old school with no computers) said that the cars geometry maxed out at 1" give or take .15" They measured the car for 2 hours while figuring out the best setup for my SC300.

so if I went with the supra eibachs even though up front its 1.2 inches will I not be able to align the car.

Hmmm...

If you take it to an alignment shop that has a computer... what they will do is get it into 'tolerance' now some members here have stated the tolerance as being pretty high. So when they say...it is aligned...they are really saying...it is good enough.

The real test is how your tires look and how the car feels.

If you drop your car 10% farther and that knocks your suspension out of whack a few degrees... then when all is said and done... you may be 1 or 1.something off and cause your tires to wear inside a couple hundred or maybe a thousand miles less than normal.... no biggie...

However, rest assured that if you drop it too far, the car was NOT MADE to allow for that much movement and it will cause problems down the road. Beauty over Performance

how many of you out there would actually PAY to get a camber kit? supposedly someone has them already, able to fit all lexus models.
