03 galant es camber issues, help!

rocking, tire wear and bad rain performance.

i have eibach pro springs on. claimed 1.5 inch, actual drop more than two inches. tires are way off line. i have justr ordered a camber kit and sway bars to correct problem. is this the wrong fix? will i need to chainge shocks/struts? should i just go and buy the more expensive coilover... and if so will i still need the camber and swaybar i have ordered?

thanks

Hi, i read your problem and was wondering if you've taken it to get alligned yet and if so did the garage give you a print out of your alignment angles? Anyways most likely you did the proper thing to get a camber kit seeing how camber is commonly un adjustable on stolk suspension.
If you have Mcpherson strut suspension there is a way you can adjust camber without a kit.
1- elongate one off the holes on the strut to steering knuckle and adjust and ttighten.
2- remove strut mount and elongate holes where mount meets strut tower adjust and tighten.
either way i recommend you take it to a aliggnment shop to get precise measurements.

If camber is not adjusted you will destroy your tires quickly! Bad camber angles decreases wheel to road surface also affects steering axis inclination.

Before you install your camber kit find out your suspension type, Mcpherson strut, double wish bone, etc. then take you vehicle to an alignment shop and have them swing the caster and see what is out of spec, then see if my suggestions will fix your pproblem.

hope this helps let me know if it helps you at all???

keep on tuning

Did u get it alligned? cuz a 1.5 drop wouldn't cause any major camber problems. I know plenty of people with 8g galants that have 1.8 drops and bearly have camber issues. but if that not the case a good camber kit will work fine

Before drilling out the holes in your struts. go to any auto parts store and ask for camber adjusting bolts.They give the same results without damaging your struts.
