I adjusted them and the stock wheels need to go. I know what i'm getting next already. The fronts you are able to see where the bottom of the tread meeting the sidewall and the rear is about 1/2" above the tire. this is looking at it fairly level. I may move the front up another .5 and the rear up .5 I think the difference is a little too great from the front and the rear.

Question about removing bolt?
 
My question is about the bolt removed in REARs Step #2. This is the bolt that connects the bottom shock mount. My question is this bolt has is not eccentric correct? If I was to unbolt this and not mess with anything else, then torque it back to specs, I won't mess with the alignment at all right?

2 things here:

1) How did you adjust your ride height?
2) Measure your ride height from the fender to the bottom lip of your wheel. Measuring to the ground is horribly inconsistent. From the bottom lip of the wheel to the fender is the most consistent way to measure ride height.

Oh, Everything is adjusted perfectly! Got my alignment and corner balancing done two days ago. The guy that did the work said he was really impressed at how close I had the heights equally adjusted. I was off by 1/16th on one side I believe. I just wanted to know if removing that would screw/bolt that connects the bottom shock mount would mess up the excellent work that my alignment guy did. From what I can tell that bolt has nothing to do with alignment adjustment. Thanks

Nice write up. Good enough for me although I'm not familiar with independent rear suspension until I got this car. I was confused why everyone selling coils had the rear springs separate..now I know lmao

You should invest in the spl rear toe arm I just ordered mine from Z1.

Yeah I'm picking up the camber arms in a few days. Coils are going on in about a month
