While I firmly believe that we manufacture a superior coil I do not think the coils are the problem. We need to get the alignment specs to figure out what is going on. Get to a quality alignment shop. Get your car on the rack. Call me with the specs on screen and the tech by your side. We'll get this sorted out on the spot. My mobile number is 616.834.8100.

There is one other thing we could try. Ride heights, but is the alignment is whacked the ride heights will be of minimal value. We'll get the ride heights while on the alignment rack. Make sure you bring a metric tape with you.

I'll call the tech as soon as the shop opens tomorrow.When I get on the rack I'll give you a buzz. I really appreciate all your help

Just got back from the alignment shop and...

. Big thanks to JusticePete. I can't say enough about his suspension knowledge and willingness to help out a fellow Camaro owner.

JusticePete : I owe you one !!
Thanks Again.

The bounce is gone and the car tracks straight and true???

lexlueger · 07-02-2010, 11:01 PM

YES!! I took it on a 60 mile run. No more bounce! Rear end feels planted. I tried to break it loose

, no dice.
I think after my cam, I'm going full bush kit ... I know where my suspension mod money is going from now on.

wow nice to hear you got your bounce fixed. I haven't taken my camaro in for alignment yet because when I called Eibach help desk for the alignment numbers they said to use the Camaro stock alignment numbers. I don't have excessive bounce, just a little extra bounce than I like. I need to find a good quality alignment shop near me to do what was recommended by JusticePete. By the way, would you mind posting your alignment numbers used for Eibach. Thanks

lexlueger · 07-03-2010, 12:14 AM

I did not use the " factory specs" on my alignment. I would be happy to post the specs ..pending approval on the source.

You used Pedders factory sspecs

Front
Camber -1.25
Toe - OUT .1

Rear
Camber - 1/2 the Front
Toe - Zero

shevyman · 07-03-2010, 08:14 AM

i am going to be negative.

i had a set of eibachs for my other car and i find out they like to sag after so many miles. so i went from a 1 1/2 inch drop to like 2 1/2 inch. so what i would say is maybe a bad set of springs. which also i dont think i have heard of but hey it could happen right.

My Eibachs are going to be here Wednesday (got the Pro-Plus kit for $400 shipped). Would you mine detailing the steps you had to go through to get it right and what the problem you were having actually was.
