So I just got my Eibach Sportlines and was planning on putting them in this weekend. I know some people are using these springs with camber bolts and others are not. I drive a lot of miles so I don't want to be chewing up tires. Just looking for some feedback from those on both sides.

You should be able to get it aligned back to factory specs(2thumbs)

No prob. When I take mine down to get aligned after each spring install, the "actual #'s are always within the "spec #s'#" Still good to get it done though, you can feel a difference afterwards(2thumbs)

Do they make a camber kit though for our car? and if they do where can you purchase one?

Not available yet I don't think, but it will be sometime. I'll be using many of their products for my STX project.

02-002/02 MAZDASPEED PROTEGE - TOE-IN SPECIFICATION ADJUSTMENT DURING PDI

APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS

All 2003 and 2003.5 MAZDASPEED Protege models

DESCRIPTION

The MAZDASPEED versions of the Protege models requires less toe-in than the settings provided at the factory for both front and rear. At the time of pre-delivery inspection, the total toe-in setting must be reduced to the setting outlined in this bulletin.

NOTE: The purpose of the toe settings below is to provide a slight " total toe-out " condition.

TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT INFORMATION

Adjust tire inflation pressures to 32 PSI cold for both front and rear tires.

On the alignment rack, reduce total toe-in to the following specification.

Front total toe-in (-1.0 ±1.0 mm, -0.04 ± 0.04 in, -0°6' ± 6')

Rear total toe-in (-1.0 ±1.0 mm, -0.04 ± 0.04 in, -0°6' ± 6')

Inspect that the following settings are still within specification.

Caster angle (Front: 2°01' ± 1°)

Kingpin angle (Front: 12°59')

Camber angle (Front: -0°58' ± 1°)

Camber angle (Rear: -0°48' ± 1°)

Verify adjustment.

PDI CLAIM INFORMATION

The PDI time has been increased for the MAZDASPEED Protege model to include the toe adjust alignment procedure. Do not enter claim for the alignment procedure when performing PDI for this vehicle.
