Hi, I have a 94 and just lowered it with Eibach/Bilstein, with 17/18 aftermarket wheels.

Previous time I had the same exact suspention on another car (91') and when I did the alignment, the guy got it down to -0.6, on the front camber. The specification is -0.5 to -0.2.

I put the spring/shock on another car, and this time he can only get it to -1.5 and said was max. He said it could be the spring that is getting old, thus sagging a bit, meaning it drops the car lower, so it's not coming into spec.

I konw lowered cars will always have negative camber, but would 2 year old spring start sagging to cause such difference in camber? From -0.6 to -1.5? Should I get it re-aligned at another place?

thanks for any feedback.
 
I have heard before that Eibachs apparently fatigue after a while in service.
I doubt it's the alignment shop.
