Default eibach pro kit question?

so i just installed some eibach pro kit springs..and i just noticed today that my back wheels are kinda slanted. the top or the tire is leaned more to the inside of the car and the bottom is leaning outward..instead of a 90degree its more like a 95 to a 100 degree. does anyone else have this problem and how do i fix it?

So.. you guys are saying lowering with Eibach pro kits will result in slanted wheels? I was planning to get Eibach, but now I'm worried.

Dont worry the off camber LOOKS nice , thing is L-Sport will soon be selling lowering springs/shocks from the dealerships so it wouldnt be too far of a stretch to assume a camber kit will soon be comming.

You mean with even just a slight 1.0-1.4 inch drop the rear camber isnt even adjustable enough to fix it? That cant be right...

My brother is currently installing my Eibach Prokit right now on my car while Im at work! Then he is going to take it to work and get the alignment done on it on Tuesday. I will be able to give exact details on the rear camber after its adjusted.

I just installed my Eibach pro-kit and my tires have just about no negative camber after the install. I will be getting an alignment next week just to make sure.
