Default H&R Springs on 2000 C2

I just purchased a 2000 C2 and decided to install H&R springs. I took it in for an alignment and they said it required a camber and toe kit to get the alignment into spec. Is this common? Thanks for your input.

Not sure about C2 but c4s required adjustable toe arms.

Unless you are going pretty low, I don't think this is accurate. I did use adjustable rear toe arms, but my car is on coilovers and relatively low.

After installing my H&R lowering springs and B8 Bilsteins, I did not have to purchase a camber and toe kit to get the car to align properly.

My 2003 C2 had to have upper control arms and toe arms to get it into a reasonable street alignment with H&Rs and B8s. If you don’t mind a more track oriented alignment (and tire wear associated), you can get away without anything.

What after market arms did you use. I found Godspeed turnbuckle arms any experience with them?

Are you referring to just the rear? On the rear if they can get the camber in spec but not the toe then you can get away with adjustable toe arms.

I confirm this. I have H&R's on my car and was able to get it aligned to Kussmaul GT3 specifications without any additional aftermarket parts. However, this specification is considered to be more track oriented.
