Ok...I already know what Onzy thinks (since he has SPC in his siggy)..but SPC...good stuff, or spend the extra on SPL if rear camber correction is required post Swift install?

Next question: are you all ok with reusing clay if it's not too badly soiled? I used a bit of Griots Paint Cleaning Clay on my hood yesterday..and it wasn't too bad, so I wrapped it in Saran Wrap and figured I'd ask the group for their thoughts.

I am actually swapping my SPC out for SPL.

I usually just refold the clay into it self to expose clean areas. Did you rip a chunk off the bar and just use that?

Just ripped off a chunk about the size of a large gumball. :tup:

Oh RLY? Now why would you be doing that, my friend?

Next question: toe bolts...I'm assuming you has them?

I am in spec on the toe, so I did not have to use them.

I picked up a set of SPL cheap so I am swapping them out as soon as I am home on a Friday, which may be never at this rate.

The SPC are fine, but they have been known to break under hard use. It is rare. I would be keeping them if I had not got that smoking deal on the SPL's.

Who owes me a Rep?

Be honest, now. Search your feelings.

Toss it if its showing black areas. A piece that small is no big loss and not worth it potentially wrecking all your hard work.

not sure. b15's rear camber was -2.9 max at 0.6 toe in or something, which isn't that terrible. i'd do the spring install and see where it takes you. you're going to end up doing a few alignments anyway to dial-in your setup. :D

yep, i re-use my clay if it's not dirty. i usually just roll it up into a ball, place it in my clay jar, and spray into the jar before i close the lid.

Thanks for the sound advice, as always. You may not cotton to all that lowering nonsense, but you do have a depth of knowledge about it. :tup:
