can anyone recommend a suspension kit for the calibra turbo. don't want coilovers. was thinking of eibach 25mm springs with bilstein shockers,with a 25mm dropwill i still need a camber correction kit?

Eibachs and uprated shocks dropped mine too low (Koni adjustables shocks) and causeg 18's to rub badly and hit the wheel arch top on bumps. I'm back to Koni adjustables on standard springs and it sits about right on 19's:

:p Nice...

I have a set of Jamex Springs 40mm lowered, uprated front shock and soon rears aswell. I get a harder ride but handles well...

Springs I had on to start with were even lower, must have at least been a 60mm drop, that was too hard, try not to go lower than 40mm, I think you might be ok with the camber with 25mm lowering springs, 40mm your just starting to wear the inner tyre a little, IMO...

I have the 2.0 8v not turbo by the way, thought I would just put some info out there...

I had Eibachs for a couple of months. The drop was way more than the stated 25mm. Couldn't do speed bumps at all...

Went back to standards after that.
