Spring

I was wondering when i get my eibach springs, i was told that i have to get the alignment fix. How easy is it to do your self or is it something that i should take to get done

An alignment is something that needs to be done with an alignment machine. There are ways to do it yourself, but unless you are an expert at it, I would leave it to an alignment shop.

You will also need to purchase and install some adjustable caster/camber plates in order to get a good alignment.

I would let the springs settle for at least a couple of weeks before getting an alignment. As stated above, C/C plates will help in the alignment process, but sometimes they can get it within spec if the drop is not too severe (aka Eibach Pro-kit).

The Eibach pro-kit springs will most likely put your front end into a situation where the alignment shop cannot get the camber just right. It will most likely be right on the negative limit of the suggested camber range. Suggested camber range is -1.5 to 0.3 degrees. My 2001 Cobra was -1.4 & -1.5 degrees after pro-kit spring installation. The notice excessive Inside tread wear within a couple hundred miles.

CC plates solve this problem easy. CC plates are one step harder to install that performing an oil change. Piece of cake. I have the MW ones and they fit great and work perfectly.

FYI, my 2001 Cobra with Eibach pro-kit springs also required a Toe adjustment after installation.
