On tirerack.com regarding those Eibach springs (Pro-Kit) for Nubira - there is an alignment kit :
Eibach Recommended Align. Kit

Will I need this, too ? Can a mechanic adjust the alignment without having this ?

I'd suggest getting an alignment kit... Without it you may be pushing a lot of negative camber... I'm not sure though, wait for someone else to respond...


Edit:
Some negative Camber is alright, and can help with handling, too much and you're just wearing your tires down faster and could possibly wear the sidewall which'll make your tires go boom... My car at the moment has too much negative camber, and i need to take it to an alignment shop because the insides of my tires are almost bald in the front :(

Hmm, still not clear for me ... (I'm a newbie I know) . So the alignment kit is a part (component) that I just need to buy and install along with the new springs ? Does 1 alignment-kit is enough for all 4 springs, or do I need more kits ?

If I don't buy this, can my mechanic adjust my alignment without this original alignment-kit from Eibach ?

See this is why i'd rather someone else answer this question, because i've never installed lowering springs, i don't know how badly it effects the camber... I would imagine it would be pretty dramatic... I don't think that it's slight in any way though, because you're losing 1+inches of ride height the angle of where the wheel meets the rest of the suspension parts is much different i'd assume, and the stock way of alignment wouldn't be able to handle anything drastic...

thats how much i get paid tomorrow and i am having no luck with suspension upgrades. I emailed lots of dealers and anything i could doo to find info. I tried kyb gr2 part numbers and eibach part numbers no luck. Nova Scotia bites for daewoo parts. I would be willing to buy coilovers right now i just want a new setup thats not stock.
