Default just bought lowering springs

hey guys i just bought some eibach lowering springs and my camber in the back went out bad so i dont even dare drive my car with it toed in so bad. Camber arms only adjust the top of the tire and my car is too low to do that and we brought the bottom in as far as we could and its still way out. What shoud i do???!?!

stop worrying about the camber maybe? Just get an alignment and have the toe fixed... camber won't kill your tires nearly as fast as toe will. Actually, it's good to have some negative camber if you plan on doing a lot of fast driving in the twisties

*edit: and eibach springs (with the exception of their coilovers) shouldn't lower the back enough to tuck tires like it sounds like you're doing... you didn't happen to put the front springs in the back and vice versa, did you?

I got mine lowered 2" and my camber is bad, but i can live with it. I'm waiting to get it aligned, but i've gotta get a set of inner tie-rods first and than i go. It shouldn't be that bad. I find it tracks quite well at high speeds and around the corners, but the tie-bar helps out alot with that as well.
