Suspension goodness
 
HKS Hipermax GT IV coilovers
Voodoo13 FUCA
SPL rear camber links
SPL lockout kit
SPC rear toe bolts

Now that the rain has eased up here in CA, I'm looking forward to installing all this suspension goodness. Although, I may end up waiting until the new shoes are delivered in 2-3 months.

What recommendations do members have for camber settings for daily driving? Wheels will be 19x10 +24 and 19x11 +10. Probably going to go with 265/35 and 305/30 rubber. Looking to drop ride height in the neighborhood of 1.2"-1.5".

Thanks

for DD? as close to stock as possible with whatever wheel fitment you have

you'll probably need some camber adjustment depending on your height

doubt you'll need a roll

I'd prefer not to have to roll/pull. Would like to remain close to stock OEM alignment specs but am thinking I'll need a bit more camber with these offsets. I'm hoping to get to the track once in a while (maybe annually).

folks are running 19x9.5 +22 in front which is close and dont need any mods so you may be good

but who cares, its not that expensive, and in socal, theres probably plenty of shops that can do it

Looks good, looking forward to a ride report as I almost went with those but only found one review. The rear shocks look like they have a lot of travel vs what others like ok like. Any chance to measure the shaft while it's off? Front should be the typical 5in since it uses an 8in spring.

If it helps, each "row" on that cheap laminate flooring is 2.5" wide (7.5" per board).

That makes sense since then it looks like the front is 5" and the rear to appear to be longer, interesting. I'll be in socal in like a month, maybe I can meet up for a drive?

Yeah, let me know when you'll be in town. Maybe we can meet up.

Update: Installed everything yesterday (except for the SPL outer tie rod ends). Was a lot of work without a lift. Spent a few hours today with Chris at West End Alignment in Gardena, CA getting an alignment and corner balance done. Great guys there. Always talk you through the whole process. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics yet because I spent the whole time in the driver's seat up on the lift. Will snap a few this week. He did mention that the Voodoo13 FUCAs look great. Feels great so far. Can't wait to have some fun carving canyons.

Cool setup. Why do your calipers say akabono? Or at least I think that's what it says.

Akebono manufactures our sport brakes.
