I purchased the KW V2's for my Mag RT AWD and had them installed and after the the alignment and everything, the rear has a negative camber that is not within spec. So I called up Jason at HHP and put an order in for one of the Eibach Alignment kits...Here's the question...their website states that it's not for the AWD...What's different on the AWD Mag and the regular 2WD to make it not work...I'm not sure and neither does Jason and Eibach's site says nothing. Will the Eibach kit work? Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you use to correct it... Thanks in advance.

i was under the impression that the rear suspension of the AWD is the same as the RWD, so it should work if that is true. maybe funky can be of service...

how far out of spec is it?

The negative camber for the rear left is -2.7
The negative camber for the rear right -2.0
..the specified range is -1.3 to -0.3

I installed my V-2's almost a year ago. My camber was toward the upper end of the spec, but definitely in range. Check your height adjustments and make sure they're okay. I know a few other AWD's with the V-2's and I don't think any of them needed the camber kits.

camber range is off per the TSB. My AWD KWV2s aligned within those specs.

Camber : -0.75° -1.25° to -0.25°
Cross Camber: 0.00° -0.80 to 0.80°

I know mine is off a bit too. But, I don't recall how much without hunting down the paperwork. I've been watching my tire wear and haven't noticed any problems, so I haven't worried about it much. I have no idea what the differences are from the RWD to AWD. It would be interesting to find out.
