#11144, "ATTN: those with prokits on eclipses..........(3 questions)"




          

i got prokits with a 1.3 or 1.5 in drop and the front seem fine but the back seems to slant out at the bottom.

did you guys have this result on your drop?

i'm thinking of getting a full camber kit front and back to prepare for a 2 in drop in the near future but i've read that it might raise the car up. does this really happen?

also, when i let go of the steering wheel, the car veers to the left. it is not like i have to fight to keep it straight but i noticed this after my car was lowered. will getting an alignment fix this?

sorry for the long post but thanx for the future response.

the front wont need a camber kit (well it might but you will find out when you get the alignment)

The rear camber can be fixed with the 15 dollar rear camber modification listed on the 2gnt main page under mods or something

The car MUST be taken for an alignment after any suspension work has been performed, you have just messed with the suspension and it is now out of wack, hence the pulling to the left they will have to adjust caster and toe in/out. Camber can only be adjusted with camber kits and some cost a pretty penny, most dont need the front but the rear is almost always necessary

hope that helped

Yeah like ^^^^^ said the $15 camber mod for the rear works good, Definitely go get and alignment though if your pulling to the left. I got lucky and mine stayed true when we put them on, had it checked and the fronts stayed in spec. As far as I know the camber kit won;t raise your car up any at all.

also about the "slant" problem, if by Slant you mean the back seems lowetr then the front, then you are right it only SEEMS lower, it is not, but the fenders are not equal, there is more gap in the front then in the back, the only way to remedy this is with coil-overs.
