Camber correction for dropped 2nd Gens

With Eibach springs, is there a camber issue or is it still within the limits? Has anyone done this setup?
 
^ There are no camber issues with H&R (at least for me) so i don't see why it would be a problem with eibach (since the H&R drop lower than eibach).
I also did an alignment yesterday and the toe was brought to spec (i'm dropped on H&R for more than 3 years). Only the front was affected... Camber was within spec range (1.5 front and 2 in the rear).

Yes, on the second Gen there are camber issues with H&R and Eibach. I had Eibachs on and with a drop of about 1.2" it wasn't too bad but still not good for the cross country trips I do. It is a bit better than with the H&R, which has a bit more drop.
The lower you go the worse it gets.
I posted the specs here a long time ago, check the first page of this thread. My lowering springs from my FX35 are still in the box stored away in my garage.

Hmm.... that's a great idea. I will take a closer look at Rip's ride this weekend when I taking it apart for some monster mods.
 
I've actually been really curious about this since dropping mine on h&r's a few weeks ago. Haven't noticed any issues so far but the camber has definitely been affected.

You won't notice the camber issues until you start accumulating the miles on your car. They will start to wear on the inside once you get a few thousand miles on it so your tires will not last as long.

Yeah that's what I figured. Wasn't sure if others were having issues other than excessive tire wear. One thing I have noticed is that it almost feels like there's some sway every now and then on the highway buts that's it. This is my first lowered vehicle so I'm not exactly sure what to expect. The handling is amazing though.
 
The handling will be much better, the only downside is increased tire wear, if you don't put high mileage on then it's really not a problem.
 
Any update on the camber correction kit? I would like to throw myself into committing to a camber correction kit for the 2nd generation FX for.

Has anyone purchased/paid for the camber kit??

Thank you
 
Does anyone have a picture, measurements or anything for the stock and modified ones? I also have a friend that does a lot of fabricating on cnc's
 
I thought the SPC Performance 72265 Camber Kit fixed the rear camber though according to this thread "2009 - 2013 FX35 Rear Camber Fix with SPC Performance 72265 Camber Kit" I currently have 20x10 Niche Targa M130s and would like to lower on H&Rs. I was hoping this kit would suffice.

It was done on my ride by Andy. When I took it to get it aligned there was still negative camber but it was good try by Andy. He's the man, appreciate all his help.
 
Man, was really hoping to lower on those springs but can't afford to change the tires that frequently as I drive long distances daily for work. Is anyone working on something? I don't mind helping to fund a project.
 
How off are you 2nd gen guys on springs?
I see many lowered, & none look that bad at all.
