yes, i've used the search and yes, i am aware that this is an often-asked question:

nonetheless, here's my question - your kind replies will be greatly appreciated:

i'm looking at buying -
1. Spohn tubular adj. lca's w/. poly bushings
2. eibach pro-kit lowering springs
(and only if my budget allows it) 3. Spohn panhard bar w/. poly bushings

in the future, i plan on purchasing tokico d-specs.

so, with just the springs, lca's and the panhard bar, will i absolutely need to:
1. adjust camber?
2. adjust pinion angle?

i do not race; this is a street setup only, however, i certainly don't want to damage anything. money-wise, though, i just can't do everything at once.

thanks a lot for your help, guys!

I can reply to only one of your ?`s. I installed the pro-kit springs and yes this caused the camber to go way negative.
Local alignment shop that does race car set-up corrected that by slotting the bolt holes and realigning. $185.00

HUH, you let them slot the holes on your struts instead of buying camber bolts? [&:][sm=dontgetit.gif][sm=badidea.gif][sm=nothatway.gif]

- Spohn is good stuff - great choice
- Eibach Pro will lower front enough to put the tires into negative camber. You can drive like this but it will prematurely wear your tires on inside edge. You have 3 options to adjust it: 1) camber bolts - lowest cost, ~$40; 2) adjustment plates (http://www.steeda.com/products/steed..._adjusters.php); or 3) Adjustable Strut Mounts (http://www.steeda.com/products/heavy...nts_street.php)
- If you have stock drive shaft the springs will not lower the car enough for you to need to adjust pinion angle. If you have one piece Drive shaft then you will need to adjust pinion angle.

thanks a lot for your reply, argonaut. i'll pick up a set of camber bolts as well. is the install doable? bear in mind, i am not terribly proficient, but i'll be with a friend who is.

and i figure i'll need to get the allignment checked by a shop after everything is done, right?

i went through two sets of tokico struts in a year on another car i built they kept blowing seals and leaking. not impressed. i recommend KYBs there a little more money but worth it.
