This will be my first post here so hi to everyone.

I have just had 20" wheels, Eibach Lowering springs and spacers fitted to my 06 Cayman S. The car looks amazing but im having problems with handling. I have taken the car to a local garage which have tried to adjust the camber, caster and tracking but they cannot get there machine to fit because the gap is to small. Can anybody advise us how to get the machine to fit or how to do it as its looking like we will have to take bumpers off which we really do not want to start doing!

Any help would be grateful and many thanks!

Are you on stock suspension? As I understand it, the stock only allows 1 deg of negative camber and no caster adjustments. Then again, I might be wrong!

Correct. I just had mine aligned, and I pushed the front struts to full negative before taking it to the shop, and it was about -1 degree. With shorter springs, you will gain a bit more negative camber, but not much. The good news, these cars really don't need a lot of camber for good handling. My recommendation, just loosen the struts at the top, push them in to full negative, and then let the shop set the toe where you want. It may not be a perfect left/right match, but it won't be off enough to matter. But if the machine setup is the problem, then it's a problem for toe also.
