I am going with 20mm H&R spacers (replacement studs) at all four corners. I was thinking about 25mm in the rear but the base wheels have a slightly more aggressive offset than the 19" Rays so I don't want to go too aggressive.

Do these springs need camber arms? After reading a few posts by some members here, it seems that they are not necessary since you should be able to align it back close to stock suspension with just a tad of neg. camber in the front and rear.

You think you'll have these on by the 15th? I'd love to see how the car looks.

All my alignment numbers came within factory specifications in every regard so to confirm, you do not need camber arms.

I will definitely have the spacers, but whether they will be installed or not is another question entirely haha. I always take pictures (and often get carried away) so those will be posted, but I will try.

Completely silent, there is nothing that these springs have done worse than stock in every way. The more I drive on them, the more I like 'em!
