Can't wait to get my springs next Tuesday and throw them on next weekend. I just sold my motorcycle today so I need some sort of emotional boost. It's going to look good with the 15 x 20mm H&R spacers!

Pics and review to come people

My bad guys, it just dawned on me that I may need the camber kit 'cause I'm running different wheels than stock. Sorry I don't remember the camber numbers I got, I just know they were off. Guess ill just have to add the camber kit cost to the price of getting new wheels!

Yea i've heard to hold off on the camber kit as most people are able to get within spec. Plus with spacers things tend to change.

Same here, I came in at -1.9 in the rear which is not aggressive enough to make me consider camber arms.

Have any of you guys had a issue with ride height.

My car is .25 higher on the right front.
and .25 higher on the right rear.

When I installed these I had no problems at all and I drove it and double checked everything and still find this puzzling.

Mine are due to arrive on the 11th according to the tracking e-mail I got from KamiSpeed. My 15mm H&R spacers for the front wheels arrived today and I'm in the queue for powdercoated brakes from Mike.

Unfortunately, I wont be able to tackle my spring install for a couple of weeks. I'm off to London for work!

I can't remember which side it is, but one side of the car is slightly higher than the other and I believe that is the driver's side to compensate for the weight of the driver.
