I put Eibach Pro-Kit springs and Eibach Camber Correction bolts in the rear with stock struts on my '03 WRX sedan. It came out nice. AI did the alignment and said I installed the bolts perfectly and randomly set them to 0 in the rear (I was shocked even after looking at the printout). I did it pretty carefully like I do everything though - it was confusing as heck with rediculous "instructions" (something like "install bolts on car") but with the help of MPJ/GB via phone they came out nice. I have heard of them breaking before, but nothing first hand. The new owner of my car supposedly "works it" up and down 50 on a regular basis. He has already needed an alignment (since December) so if he is ON IT that crazy and not breaking anything, you'll prolly be OK until you get too radical with the suspension setup.

If you need help with them, drop me a line. I will be out of the country for a few weeks but here till Monday.

Like Jacob said, I have not heard of it breaking and not mine that's for sure. Mine was installed by MPJ along with the Eibach's and the rear sways. It's good!

Maybe if you get some cheap crap chinese ones they might not be up to it, but I'd expect parts from Eibach or any reputable supplier should be strong enough to do the job.

Can I have the front camber bolt install on the rear in order to get adjustment? It looks like they are interchangable right? Any feedback?

Question help

i just bought a new set of BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWs for $600 to replace my so3's that had horrible treadwear along the insides from my camber being too negative due to my espiler lowering springs.

i dont want to waste these tires too, so im going to buy front and back eibach adjustable camber bolts from tirerack.

i have the lifetime allignment at firestone, but i dont know if they'll be able to adjust it properly to fit my car.

shud i fork over the extra cash and take it some where that deals with lowered cars?

shud i just let firestone do the allignment after i install the new camber bolts and take the risk of finding out a couple of months later that the insides of my tires are worn to **** again ?

any suggestions will be very much appreciated. thanks

Alot of the firestones have idiot proof alignment machines, you can't so wrong with the price, they may not treat your rims with TLC though.

I've had pretty good luck with the one on fremont and washington and the one on mowry west of 880. They have aligned it to what I asked them within the spec.

Your front already has camber bolts. They may be able to get less neg camber with them if you ask or you will have to get an adjustable top hat.

Do you know what your camber was?
