alignment specs

[whiterider00]

just installed sprint springs and kyb shocks. after less than 2 days, the front tires are cupping pretty bad on the outer edge, and feels kinda like something is not right. just wondering if theres specific specs to align it or just use stock specs. they said there should be specifications with the springs, but there werent any. also, ive seen a lot of people say camber kits arent really needed, but wud that help? thanks.

i know intrax springs use the stock specs...so perhaps sprint ones do too. lowering springs should not need a camber kit

[whiterider00]

so returning it to factory specs should eliminate all the nasty tire wear huh? hope so. tires have less than 4k on em, and look like crap. thanks for the info

When installing springs, you should get the alignment asap. Any height or any suspension change you will need to check the alignment. The cupping is due to the toe is off due to the car is lowered. Any lowering or raising will change the toe. Toe will kill ur tires faster than camber wear.

is it possible to set a little neg. camber in the rear? I want to run a 19 with a little neg. camber, how would I do this

[sound_xtreme]

yes, you can set a little negative in the rear. the camber on our cars shouldnt ever be a worry. Toe however is. Generally when you lower your car you end up with toe like this: / \

thatll tear up tires quick cause you're basically dragging your tires down the road quite a bit.

ya, went back today to get the alignment, and the guy said toe was seriously effed up. got it all straightened out, and drives a lot better now.
