Intrax, Eibach, Springtech, etc...

I can't speak for how you react to these types of things, but it would drive my crazy until I had it checked again somewhere else. It may verify the first shop's work or it may not. I would also like to know if anything on the R rear had been tweaked. Just for peace of mind, I would recheck the setup.

Ok everyone, drove the heck out of the car so the suspension would settle. Took it to a real alignment shop and everything is right on. Of course the rear is still barely out of limits but they said that's normal for the LS. The original shop had the Toe wrong but it's now fixed. All I can say is I love how the car corners and so far the drop hasn't resulted in too many scrapes. I'll try to take pics today.

Could you post the new specs so we can compare. Just curious.

Ok hopefully this works!

could be bent control arms, frame damage from accident, lots of things.

Sorry you asked for specs. I'll post those when I get back to work!!!!

Ok here is the second set of figures. Remember the first post then look at what was actually reported by the second shop and their corrected numbers.

Looks a lot better to me. My rear camber was just out of spec also after lowering the car (I don't remember exactly how much). 2 tenths of a degree difference on a non adjustable system is close enough IMHO. Overall I would venture that the second shop either had a more accurate device, or better trained techs.

yeah I'm very happy with the results. I think the second shop just had a more experienced person. Overall I like the 1.75 drop better than I anticipated.

How did they adjust the rear camber when the rear camber is fixed???? With my SpringTechs I'm running -1º rear camber on both sides.

They didn't adjust them at all.

mike - isn't that what you want?

I put in a 1.5 degree camber in every car I own - once I lowered the LS 2" - tada!!!
