Are you guys having any alignment issues on drop springs? Wondering about the negative camber and tire wear on these cars when dropped.

I put mine on the alignment machine after installing my springs and the alignment was still within good specs

^^thnx

Same, mine is perfect with the prokit

meaning eibach? how much of a drop did you get?

 

[toshko321]

Yes eibach.

 

[trooper]

^^Looks good, how many miles on the drop so far?

 

[tubascience]

Yes eibach. View attachment 2111 View attachment 2112

Also looks like you have spacers on. If so what sizes?

11500 on the springs and 20mm rear 15mm front

I've got the the Pro-kit as well with about 5k on them.

Im glad to hear no problems with the Eibach drop and the spacers as my spacers comming in and will do the springs for summer. Eibachs about 100 bucks more than the others I might go with the NGM due to the price diff.

Nice so they should be settled and it looks like the perfect drop. No uneven wear on the tires is good news. Got a full side pic?

Oh yeah and the spacers add a nice look.

Not sure I ever posted any pics of mine with the NGMs but heres what I have on my photobucket

Nice unintentional comparison of the spacers lol. Both look amazing but the spacers def set it off.

 

[GT800]

Yeah the spacers definetely give it a nice stance. Im not sure whether im just going to buy wheels yet so I didnt bother with spacers.

Guys with coilovers and springs, have you noticed a negative response in performance? I know this is silly to ask but I'm afraid to change my suspension as I already know my car can handle 50-60 ramp turns. I'd be weary to try it when I switch to coils or even to the prokit.

 

[GT800]

I have only good things to say about having the ngm springs. I have to say though after adding the rear torsion barnow the car really handles well.

trust me .. you'll be able to take the same ramps at 70 confortably lol

the only thing that could be affected by the lowering of the car would be the front. As you lower the car, with macpherson struts, the toe will go in and you get more negative camber. The rear will not matter due to the geometry of the rear...or the lack there of. haha


there is a sweet spot for lowering the car. You essentially want the control arms to be parallel with the ground. If you go too low it will have a negative affect on the handling because of the geometry. I found this out when I had coils on my elantra...i raised the car up some to get everything parallel and it was much better...after they blew i went to a spring strut combo and it was even better, because the coils were actually TOO hard. (though in retrospect...it could have been because the tires were loosing traction...if i had some uber sticky tires on there it might have helped quite a bit...but this is another one of those..are you going to track your car questions and the need for coils.
