So I had my Elbach spring put on about a year ago...and after I got my new tires (205-55-15 bridgestone RE730) put on, I noticed a slight pull to the left. So I hook it up too the alignment mechine, and I find there is 0.4 degree difference of front camber on both side ( -0.1 on right and +0.3 on left ) Front camber is not adjustable, and tire pressure was equal. I check ride height on it, the driver side is about 1/4 inch higher than the other side. I had somebody sit on the driver seat and it equal out the ride height but the camber didn't change. I was wonder why would I have + camber after I lower the car. Anyone noticed something like that?

No ....mine was spot on after being done.
I did have problems with the car pulling really bad to the left after it was done. Couldn't take my hands off the wheel for a few seconds at 30mph as it wanted to drive into the gutter. They checked and re-checked all the settings..O.K After talking to a expert as to the problem, he told me to change the tyres around as i had just brought brand new directional tyres. After swapping them around on the rims the problem went away and it was all O.K. Have been told that this is a common problem with this type of tyre. This may help you out. |

Cut my spring? Hell no, that is one damn stupid thing to do...oh did I say something wrong?
I did suspect that it was my tires but I actually hooked my car up to the alignment machine and found those numbers...my camber is off somehow and ...what so weird was, I got positive camber on one side after I lower it.. I am still thinking if I can enlarge the bolt hole where the upper control arm connect to the third link to make the front camber adjustable... |

Just putting in my 2 cents.
Have eibach pro kit ..with 215/40/17 tires ...everything went great with the lowering. Have never had to adjust anything. Car is straight as an arrow after change. I don't know if your car has ever been in an accident ..you may want to check the frame.
