I think you will find that the camber and toe have changed.

Car looks great. I am hoping to get mine on along with the Hotchkis bars before Mid-Ohio this weekend.

Maybe slightly in the rear, but the car feels exactly the same as far as steering input. I was going to do the Hotchkis bars when putting the springs in, but I was concerned they would be a little too stiff for Cali freeways. Let me know what you think of them, I may just put them on next

The car looks great, ordered my springs today. Already saw the 15mm spacers on the rear, perfect offset, makes the wheels look real flush with the body, probably going to order mine sometime this week. Saw another car with only 10mm spacers, just wasn't enough. I was wondering how hard it was to get the old studs out and put the new ones in, and how far did the nuts go on to the studs (roughly how many threads), just curious? That's the only reason I haven't ordered them yet. Any input would be appreciated.

Once again, car looks great, can't wait for my to look like that.

nice braden looks like amplified did a good job
cant wait to get mine soon

so no problems with scraping on 1 way driveways yet? even at an angle?

Even with a subtle drop, I'd definitely get an alignment. You don't want to be surprised with uneven tire wear.

The studs came out pretty easy, but needed to unmount the e-brake assembly in order to slide them out and the new ones in. The fronts will not have that problem. There is an e-brake assembly behind the rotor on both sides. It's not that difficult. When the wheel is mounted up it is about the same number of turns on the threads with the longer studs as when it was stock.

Is Eibach coming out with sways, or are you going with something else??

Not really a problem thus far, there were a couple that I wasn't being that cautious on, and I heard some very light scuffing, really minor, nothing more then before.

The wheel wind deflectors are 2.75 inch from the ground up, and the chin deflector has 4.25 inches of clearance. The wheel deflectors are pretty flexible, they should be ok on everything but the most severe driveways. They can always be taken off if it becomes a problem.

Thank you B for the Rep points

I already ordered your new toys. I should have them by this week hopefully. If they do, will you be coming in for Sat?

Also, you want 15mm for the front right?

For those who wants the eibach springs, hotchkis sways PM me

Combo deal going on shipped or installed
