Well i have lately been looking through alot of the posts on lowering my new car. Im just thinking what i will need to buy. Im thinking about getting the H&R cup kit. But what will i need to adjust the camber back to normal? I have looked at the K-Mac kit but some people said it wasnt that great. Or there are speedybenz's arms. Im just a little unsure what route i should take.
O ya, the car is a 96' C36. I will have about 80lb's extra in the back with the system. Then i will have eigther my 17" monoblocks or my 18" MOMO's.

My suggestion... buy cheap tyres! :p :p
I'm going thru exactly the same problem my side, just waiting fore some feedback on those adjustment kits...not too keen on them just yet
I have bilstein sport shocks B36 1854 and B36 1855 and eibach pro kit springs 2532.140 with #1 pads front and back. The ride is very good, sometimes it is bouncy but I have only noticed that over big holes/depressions in the road.. I have never had anyone complain about the ride.. lots of compliments from people riding in the car about how much it sticks when you throw it into a hard corner and trust me sometimes I give it heaps hah.
The ride height is what I wanted, could be a bit lower in the back but the stock bumper doesn't do it any justice due to the angle it has.. looks like I will have a c36 rear on there soon so that should make it look better.
The camber is out marginally in the back, but I am waiting for my 20" rims to arrive and then I will see if I need to fit camber arms. Chances are I will have to but I will wait and see..

I also have the Eibach Pro kit and the Bilstien Sport shocks. I really like it. Decided that I did not need sway bars after all with the new setup. Clearance is only an issue with a full load, fast speed and a large dip.
The main issue will be rim and tire selection. I have 18" and tried to install 245 which is too wide in the front. Yes I did use the search button, but my tireshop was sure it could fit.
I ordered the Camber arms from Speedybenz. But I recommend that you try the springs and shocks before getting the arms. The alignment shop said the Camber was only marginally out. The front more than the back. Unfortunately the camber arms are for the back. I will wait and see if I actually "NEED" to install them.

Well i got the Eibach springs ordered, i will be putting them on as soon as them come. Do you think new shocks is a good idea too??

Def. replace shocks when changing springs. Especially considering the age and mileage of these cars. Those springs are designed to use a shorter shock, and if used with factory shocks will just wear them out quickly and you would have to pull everything apart again to replace.
