    Hey Supreme,

    Did you have to buy the Eibach alignment kit with your Eibach lowering springs?

    PRO-ALIGNMENT KIT Front +/- 1.75 degrees of adjustment. Par number 5.81270K

    I was browsing a thread and ran into this: "I called Eibach today, the springs do work on 04-09 basic and touring Prius' and the alignment kits are necessary for any springs that lower the car as there are no adjustments on stock Prius'."

    I'm not sure what that means.

    Also, how's the ride with those Eibachs? I'm close...

    By the way the Nokya fogs are still great hahaha. I think I'm just copying your car....

    THANKS!

    I did not order camber bolts. It wasn't "necessary" as far as the spring installation goes. I can't really compare the ride quality considering I only had my prius about 2 weeks before I had the springs installed.

    Is the alignment kit and camber bolts the same thing? Sorry I am learning...

    Any noticeable wear on your shocks?

    Curious about the alignment kit also.. I have lowered several cars before and the camber ate tires in about a year..

    How do camber bolts eat the tire?

    So these springs dont put that much camber on the tires?

    I had H&Rs on my M3 & NEEDED to install camber adjusters cause it was too bad

    If you have to much + or - camber your tires will wear funny. Camber bolts would fix the problem of to much + or - when you lower the car.

    Lowering will give you negative camber. Too much negative camber and you will wear the inside of your tires quicker vs. the wear to the rest of your tire contact patch:

    I'll take a picture at some point this week. The negative camber isn't noticeable by the naked eye.
