Oh, wow, that's weird! I've never heard of that setup. It is definitely NOT stock from the factory, that's an add-on by someone else. It is also not necessary unless you have MAJOR alignement problems, like if the car was in a wreck or something. I know people who have their 124's *slammed* (3+ inch drop) and never had to resort to stuff like this. Remember, you want SOME negative camber! The bigger problem is in the rear, where lowering the car creates quite a bit of negative camber and wears the tires out faster. I just accept that as a side-effect of a lowered car. If you want stock alignment, put the stock springs back in and return the car to OE ride height, problem solved!
