Well I just installed my Eibach Sportline and I am loving them just after a 5 min test drive. The drop makes my car look so much better and I love the ride. I have a question though I installed a camber kit in the rear but I could not find were to install the fronts. Were do I put the bolts in?

I know the car might not need it but I am going to get it in the shop since my toe was off before I dropped my EP and now that it is dropped the toe is worse so I need an alignment anyways.

thanks

the eccentric bolts go in the top strut bolt hole. they replace the top bolt.

So the replaces the top 22MM bolt then? I thought it might but the camber bolt looked so much smaller.

yup. put it in there and spin the bolt, and you'll be able to see how it adjusts the camber. (remember to loosen the bottom bolt though)

All right thanks. That will be a quick install then. Just glad I did not drop my car anymore my floor jack all most does not fit under the front jack point anymore. I had less then a finger in height for it to clear form under the car. That is also what I get for having a 3 1/2 ton jack. That would have been fun for me if I could not get the jack from under my car.

Yea the fronts look good without a kit but I am going to install the fronts anyways since it is going to the shop next weekend. I would say the rears need it for sure. I have to take my ep into my shop this morning since I put a little to much camber in the right rear. I have a little to much + camber and I do not want to have a wheel rub. I figure I have around a hour of work today and I am set till I get to the shop for an alignment.

And yes, at least for the rear it's a must have. The Sportlines put you at about -1.6 degrees in the rear, which is way too much if you care about your tires.
