Damn. That's an impressive list of stuff there. SPL is some nice quality stuff!

ENT-Z - you gotta let me know how you like the suspension setup. Been reading all about this setup and it sounds very cool.

Will do. I spend a lot of time on the track with this car so I am really looking forward to seeing how the EDFC active works in that arena. I'm hoping it is awesome!

Need any help or anyone to install the suspension for you?

Where you still at stock ride height?

The car is currently with my usual mechanic at ET Tuning. I really appreciate the offer to help though! I know you have helped out a lot of the St. Louis guys.

I am going to keep the ride height as close to current as possible (currently on Nismo springs) but it may drop just a tiny bit with corner balancing. I only have a tiny amount of clearance coming up my driveway with the longer Stillen front fascia so I can't afford to drop it.

So I learned that the SPL mid links do not work with the factory style springs or the springs that come with the Tein Monoflex coil over setup. You have to have 2.5" inner diameter springs.

So I ended going with Swift Metric Coilover Springs in 12K for the rear. Tein makes springs in this size but the wait is 3 months from Japan so I passed on that option. So now I will have 14K front and 12K rear which I think will be better than the original 14K square set up that the Monoflex comes with.

Well I have had a chance to drive the car now with the new suspension. The car is completely different now. It's not something you would want to do to a daily driver but this thing is so attached to the road now it's awesome. You actually have to drive with two hands on the wheel because if the tires catch a break in the pavement you might end up in the next lane…haha! Here are some photos of the EDFC active controller and the relocated seat heater switches.

Did you go with a more aggressive alignment? Or do you think it has more to do with the control arm style and firmer bushing?

Definitely both. My current alignment specs are -2.5 camber, +7 caster, 0 toe up front and -2.0 camber and 3mm toe in on the rear. I may opt to move rear camber to about -1.8 as I have to make a ride height adjustment anyways due to it being a little too low for my driveway.
