sunshine Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hi I've lowered my zed 30mm on eibach pro springs and now the handling is dire, bump steers all over the place and the turn in feels awful. I know why this is but what suspention parts exactly do I need to buy to put the wheel alignment back into spec and where can I buy them? I think I'm right in saying the standard components dont offer enough adjustment? On the plus side the car looks frekeing awesome Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 what tyres are you running front and rear? Rear spc camber and toe bolts, eibach upper adjustable a-arms, adjustable drop links as he had these in stock when I bought some from america thinking I got a bargain, took about 2 weeks and only saved about a tenner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 You did align the suspension back after fitting the Eibach's? I had the Eibach's fitted and aligned but no handling issues, a great improvement. Agreed the drop is perfect. When I put my coilovers on I had to lift 5mm because life was difficult for my V2 front.

MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Have you had the alignment done since fitting the springs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I put my coilovers on I had to lift 5mm because life was difficult for my V2 front. my eibachs were perfect for the way i drove. Allignment/camber was a mile out but it handled awesome for track work. Now on kw v3 coilovers and the handling is unbelievable. Got Dan at AME to adjust it all and set it up for track work. Leo was out last night and couldnt believe how planted she was hooning round back roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Bennett has the KW's and they shocked me. SUPERB coily's but lota dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 No I need to get the alignment done, what I'm asking is what parts will I need to buy so the alignment can be adjusted back into spec after the drop. It must be a mile out now because the car feels terribly unstable on rough ground. I'm running good year eagle f1's need changing soon though, what do people recommend? Thanks.

Spc rear camber arms and toe bolts spc/eibach upper adjustable front a-arms adjustable drop links(not needed but recommended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really planning on tracking the car so might be pointless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The upper bushes self adjust wasso. Very hard to keep a decent allignment. Im saving for a set of the SPL upper titanium arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
