Alignment Issue with sportlines.

Does anybody have spec sheets (none factory specs) for a lowered 07 2.2L. I align my car 3 months ago, and I can already feel it going out of wack.

bump, anyone

night bump

Does anybody know where I can go to find this information, other website, or do you think a repersentive from Eibach might know, or lead me into some sort of direction would be very helpfull right about now.

What specs are you looking for. Caster has to be between +4 and -4 degrees. Camber has to be between +2 and -2 degrees.

More or less trying to learn about what caster, camber, toe, and etc. and best way to get my alignment right. The problem is, something to do with my toe (thinks thats what my alignment guy told me at the service dealership) goes way out of wack, in less then 3 months. Check all the links, struts not blown, everything is rock solid. Can use stock specs but, was not recommended, because they are for stock height and wheel base. Would like to get it done right the first time, instead of paying $80 every 3 months. Car not under warnety anymore (miles, not because of the sportlines).

Post up your alignment sheet. It doesnt matter what ride height your car sits at. Caster is caster and camber is camber.

You should just align it to the stock specs. That's what mine is and it drives fine. If it's going out of wack, it sounds like some parts are wearing, or somethings not tight.

sounds like something on the adjustment side is not tight enough or stripped or something.... just an fyi though... your wheelbase hasn't changed after lowering.
