Thanks to you all
Thank you all for aiding me on this project. SKIPPY, I simply wanted to decrease body roll. I was moving away from my old car - 2005 Volvo V70R that was costing me too much on gas and upkeep - but NOT FUN - and wanted something a bit more sedate.
I ended up changing the front Eibach lowering springs that I purchase to a pair of Bilstein springs for an e55. Got em cheap on eBay and matched that with the #1 Spring shim/pad for the ride height I wanted. I went with Eibachs in the rear, but installed a #1 pad/shim instead of the stock #3. It looks great, but may be too low once I have a full tank and passengers. May have to take it back up.
Today I had new tires and a four wheel alignment done. Front and rear toe in were corrected, but unfortunately they could not correct the 1.18 Drive side and 1.16 camber offset - I hope that I am stating this correctly - that they finally came up with in the front. Earlier when I was replacing Inner and Outer Tie Rods, Upper Control arms, Tie Rod ends and Lower control arm Bushings I installed those notched Camber adjustment Bolts with the locking washers into each side of the control arms. I thought that this would allow me to correctly set the camber in the front, but unfortunately, they still remain skewed toward the center of the engine. Any advice? Or should I just accept that i will have uneven tire wear? Thanks in advance for your advice.
