There initial work took three hours. I got the springs from Autoanything for about $226 (after MIR) . So Cal Suspension did a great job on the big-muscle items, but they are not alignment experts. I had the alignment checked at Import Auto Specialists (IAS) in Kearny Mesa after 500 miles and they corrected the alignment issues and also recommended that I should buy, when one is available, a front wheel camber kit because the front wheels are out of alignment spec (-0.2 degrees camber) and cannot be brought into spec. There are currently no camber kits available for the F10 according to IAS. The Eiback Pro-Kit lowering springs lowered the car only slightly so it is a very subtle drop, but the ride is tremendously improved.
Nice! I'm about to order that same kit, but are there any negatives to the camber issue if not addressed? Thanks!
