Springs for OEM ride height

OptionZero · 10-01-2019, 12:33 AM

an alignment to get to -3 front camber

i don't really understand the thought process behind all the SPL stuff and the OEM spring/shocks, but . . . whatever, i guess?

One step at a time.

I really enjoy your bedside manner btw. I bet you're a pediatrician

Hey Betty. When you get the SPL upper arms. Set you alignment to -2 camber, +6 caster, 1/16" toe in for the front. The rear -1.75 camber, and toe at 1/16" in. You'll get plenty of grip without wearing the inside of your tires out. Going to -3 camber on the front for a street car is just plain f!@king stupid. That's a track setting that you will no where get close to using on the street.

Do you have ESPN? Bc you can read minds.. I was going to ask you about that tomorrow. Have the alignment appt Tuesday. Was going to be Monday but I asked if their techs had experience with SPL Parts, and the manager suggested Tuesday as his 'good' tech had Monday off.
