Alignment after Eibach/Koni Install

[David Mueller]

Tomorrow(saturday) I will be installing some eibach springs and konis along with all new rubber, and other necessary hardware. I know that for proper alignment many have needed to drill out the alignment plate at the top of the strut housing or something along these lines. Does anybody have pictures and steps to do this. Also, I was going to ask the alignment shop to put the car to these specs: Max Caster, Zero Toe, and -.5 Camber all around. Does this sound good? Any other suggestions on this install and alignment would be appreciated.

Your going to want to drill out the spot welds on the strut plate. On my 91' there were 4 welds per plate. I assume the 93's are the same. After drilling them make sure you can move the plate freely (loosen the 3 cap nuts) and make sure the car is on the ground.

The specs for alignment seem good if they can get them there. From the factory you can't adjust the camber in the rear. I was able to get -1.0 in the front, but my total thrust angle was good.
