I installed Eibach Pro springs and camber adjustment bolts this Monday on my 08 CS. First, how long should I wait for these to settle? My camber is pretty negative at the moment so I'll take it easy until then. Secondly, what are the recommended specs so I can make the alignment guy's job that much easier?

I didn't see it mentioned but have you checked your rear axle alignment? I think those springs lower the car enough to require a Panhard bar.

I didn't pick one up at the time though I will once the aluminum adj. panhard is back in stock at AM. I can't visually notice the axle kicked out to the left but I'm sure the alignment machine will pick it up. I'm guessing I just need to get the front camber adjusted until I can get the panhard then have the back aligned?

Yea, get the alignment done and work to get your rear in line with a panhard. You'll also want to check your pinion angle and lower control arm angle.

Ok. If it were you, would you wait a certain amount of time for the springs to settle or are they(after 48 hours and ~100 miles driven) pretty much settled?

I'd go for it, they did the alignment on mine when they installed the springs, struts and camber plates.

Thanks for all the help. Should I just go over there with the OEM specs in hand?

They should have the OEM specs.

Well that was a bust. Went to a tire chain in town and they refused to put it on their alignment machine without the adj. panhard bar installed. Is he correct or did he just not want to mess with it?

He wanted to do a good job for you but you did not have the
suspension items needed for him to properly complete the job.
He could have just did a toe adjustment (camber is non-adjustable OEM)
and sent you on your way charging you for a full alignment job.
Get the adj PH bar, adj UCA (for proper pinion angle) and a bump steer kit
and go back to him. Then he can properly attack the job.

Whats the full drop in inches front/back with the Eibach Pros?
Did you get aftermarket struts/shocks as well?
