I am planning to lower my 99 SVT soon with the Eibach pro-kit. When I called KKM they told me camber and casper are not adjustable on the tour, so I would not need an alignment. Is this true? Also any recomendations where to have the springs installed and how much they will charge? Thanks for the help.

You are changing the struts at the same time right?

You don't want to end up paying for the labor twice (and you will)

I suggest calling around to get the best price, because from what I've heard. Some shops already KNOW how much of a biatch it is... laugh Some won't even do them again...

Now don't scare him Demon. It's really not that bad of a job, especially if you've done in twice in a 2 week period frown . I got them taken back off the silver car and replaced with stock struts and springs in 4 hours by myself.

Playboy drop me a PM or email and I can give you some suggestions or other help.

Warren knows his stuff but I have a hard time believing that lowering the car won't change the camber, and when camber changes, toe is affected, and THAT wears out tires. I'd still get it checked after lowering.

Definetly get your alignment at least checked after this procedure. Anytime you take your front end apart have your alignment checked. I needed an alignment after my install. I did both the Koni struts and Eibach springs.

I've got a guy that did my Eibach's done for a buck-seventy-five. I don't know if this is cheap compared to other people, but he did a good job. Drop me an e-mail if you're interested.
