Besides that it went good

You can have toe arms only if you get true coilovers in the rear and delete the spring perch..spl has them.

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. I am going to swing by and check them out. Right now I am fighting with Bridgestone and a dealer to find my Pole Position tires for the rear that "got lost in shipping."

How the hell does one lose big azz tires? ha ha.

$25 mount and balance.

That is where I picked up my Stance GR+ coils and my SPC front and rear camber arms from.

They seemed like they knew what was going on as far as parts go and seemed interested in my 370 as to what was done to it, nice peple.

Just bust out the skinny jeans when you go to fit in lol......

I don't know really anything about suspension stuff. I was looking at the swift spec r springs. What else would I need to do or get done to make it right with them??

I'll be taking mine for an alignment in the next week or two. I gambled by just installing springs. We'll see where I come in and go from there.
