Update on "Dropped the Celi Today"

[Coolwheels00]

Got it aligned today. Toyota wouldn't touch it. Said it was to low to pull on the ramps. They recommeded Butler Tire, a local performance shop. B.T. has two alignment devices. One that you drive on (which I used). It had about a 7 foot extension to help lowered cars get onto. Then they also had an underground one for the really slammed cars.

Anywho...installed the 1.8 DropZone springs. The front had no camber probs, only adjusted the toe. The rear had -2.4 camber which adjusted out fine with stock adjusters. Just thought I'd give you an update and the other post was getting to long for us poor 56k users to load. :)
LMK if you have any questions about anything. Thanks, Jamie

That's good to hear the alignment went well. I'm getting Eibach sportlines in a couple of weeks and wonder about the camber. Guess I'll find out. Anyone else just eibach sportlines? Was the camber correctable?

How much will the Eibach Sportlines lower it? You may need to call around to find a place that will work on it first (alignment).
Butler Tire was the 3rd place I went to. Toyota and Firestone wouldn't touch it...

how much did it cost u? do i have to take it to a performace shop or some special shop or do most alignment shops measure the camber and all that stuff? thnx

[optimus_805]

what is factory spec for camber anyway?

[DaksGT]

The eibachs lower the car, to a tuck at the back and a one finger gap at the front (best way of describing it), yes its adjustable, and yes they slam the car.

oooooh, those eibachs sound sweet. Here's some #'s for ya. The alignment was $79 which is expensive. But toyota told me straight up that they wouldn't guarentee the alignment and then the couldn't get it on the ramps. Firestone said that they don't align cars with "altered suspension" so I guess that your going to need to find a performance shop. That's also the reason why it was so expensive because they know that noone else would do it. Here's the before and after camber/toe #'s for you

Front Left: Camber- -1.0 (in spec) no change
Toe -1.5, adjusted to .01
Front Right: Camber -1.1(in spec) no change
Toe .08, adjusted to .01
Rear Left: Camber -2.3, adjusted to -1.1
Toe .14, adjusted to .05
Rear Right: Camber -2.4, adjusted to -1.1
Toe .20, adjusted to .05

There's alot of other info on the page they printed out, but this is what's most important.
