Default Eibach L Tuned Suspension...from Rod Millen...will this damage my car?

L-Tuned Performance Strut Set and Eibach Lowering Springs... i was told these will lower my car by about 1 inch all the way around. Will this give me a bad camber? will my tires wear abnormally..or will this not be that bad? Has anyone else tried this combination of suspension?

bad camber will be a given for now until daizens camber kit is released very shortly

use a good alignment shop and they can max out the eccentrics enough to not make the neg camber not beyond -.5 degrees .. wear on the tires will be minimal if you keep a eye on proper inflation

Lex thanks for the info. this is getting so complicated. I thought I had this all figured out but I guess anyway I go I will have camber issues.

I was planning on going with L-tuned shocks, Eibach springs and Daizen sways......now back to the drawing board.

With a 1" drop, you should not really have problems. When I had the Ltuned S/S set up, I had no problems and no inside tire wear. Just make sure you use a good alignment shop.

Now with Tein and a bigger drop (not slammed), getting good alignment is challenging but it is still acceptable.

If you are just doing 1" - 1.5", I'd say go for it. It is when you get to the 2"+ that you should pay some attention.
