Thumbs up Just installed Eibach Pro-Kit...

I just installed Eibach Pro-Kit springs on my '02 S2k. Other than the springs and the front strut brace, all the suspension & chassic components are stock, along with the wheel/tire setup. Front tires205/45-16) Rear tires225/50-16). I had the car aligned immediately after the installation, but like an anxious moron, I forgot to ask for the alignment spec print-out. And now the car feels like it's darting around on the road; much less stable thanin it's stock form.

So I want to go back to the shop tomorrow and have them re-align the car with me in it. But I want to go back there with a realistic idea of what can be done withOUT the Eibach Alignment Kit.....Can anybody tell me if the following specs can be achieved withOUT the Alignment Kit?

Front Castor 6.45

IIRC eibach lowers no more than an inch or slightly over you should be able to get full adjustment so you'll be okay - providing you dont have seized bushes but think state side your less prone to that.

Another yes. Effectively the UK alignment. With the Pro-kit I did those approximate specs with a bit more front caster = 6.75
