I would think that the engineering of the springs was specific to the handling characteristics of the car and you should change this immediately.

^ yeah, and you would think it would ride like sh!t too! How the hell did they install them upside down?

That's why I do my own sh!t. Less headaches like this...

See this post for what the springs should look like installed:

Yeah, should be awesome once you get them on. I'm planning on getting a set too one day, but I need some more money in my mod budget first :icon17:

I hope that means the same for Corner3 and others!

KamiSpeed 06-15-2011 03:20 PM

fyi shipment arriving tomorrow means it arrives swift, they're shipping out directly all the order since the waits been so long, but it also means if they arrive tomorrow it'll take them 1-2 days to process everything and then a few days for shipping to get them to you... so for most I'd say you'll atleast have tracking numbers tomorrow :)

So happy I can cry.

Finally got my alignment today, been at least a month with the springs on. I was able to get everything back into OEM specs:

LF:
Camber = -1.2
Caster = 5.2
Toe = .11

RF
Camber = -1.0
Caster = 5.2
Toe = 0.09

LR
Camber = -2.0
Toe = .14

RR
Camber = -2.0
Toe = .15

Didn't get the before specs, but am very happy.

^ Thats all that matters "very happy". I think that is the key to a good alignment which is to place some miles on the springs before an alignment. Mine were off a bit from one alignment to the next.

And you did this with out any control arms nor rear camber kit w/toe bolt?

speedworks 06-16-2011 06:56 PM

Needed nothing but springs.

ZForce 06-17-2011 12:07 AM

There you have it folks....if you want to retain OEM specs...then NO Control Arms nor Rear Camber Kit w/toe bolt are required.

If you are looking for more adjustability, then I would suggest first go with a Rear Camber Kit w/toe bolt and see how you like the handeling then go from there. It's your choice and depends on what you are looking for.

Thanks speedworks

I have to put a rear camber kit on mine to get back into spec. I'm doing that this weekend and will post my before/after figures.

From what I can tell, toe bolts are not required with these springs.
