Your car's looking real good! :tup:

Those wheels look super sexy on your car, the finish sets off nicely against the gray.

How's the camber with the lowered stance?

Rear seems pretty cambered out the the front probably went in an extra degre but I'll know soon enough - I'm scheduling the alignment and corner balance next week. I just want to give it enough time to settle.

Did you get adjustable upper control arms? I didn't think anyone was making them yet. There's no camber adjustment in the front without them. The rear has about 2 degrees of adjustment.

No, but from the drop alone the front definitly cambered in some.

TH Motorsports is reselling both front and rear... check my gallery to see pics

even with the slightly higher ride height, does it rub at all? i mean under very agressive turns. where was it rubbing before you raised it? my last car, it looked great lowered, but the wheel hit the inside/top of the wheel well, and there wasnt **** i could do about it and it really took the fun out of the car. any chance of a 5mm spacer in the rear to even them out?

No, under flat normal roads it wont rub even under hard cornering. It was/SOMETIMES will if the road is very uneven AND you hit a bump all at the same time. Its a bit hard to explain but basically since I raised it to the height you see i've only rubbed once on a very akward deep dip in the road where the right side sank in alot more than the left and rebounded with a slight rub.

I actually like where the rear sits at the moment but yes, it could go 5-10mm out more just for the extra flush look like the front has but to be honest its hardly even noticeable since the car has been lowered. Before hand, you could clearly see how much more aggressive the front was, but now you cant really tell.

I might go with a 265 instead of the 275 in the front and that will surely resolve any rubbing what-so-ever. First I will allign and corner balance THEN I will make that decision. Also, it only rubs in this one tiny place if I can cut and roll that up then I wont need to change tires.

keep you guys posted.

Would you do anything differently if you could do it all over again?

I absolutely love the way your car looks so far Danny, big thumb up for that rear shot! Thanks for keeping it tasteful, breath of fresh air from what I've seen lately.

Do give us some more impressions on how much of an improvement you've noticed over stock with your entire setup.

The sway bars were a GREAT mod - clean, and effective. A great improvement over stock.

Truth on the wheels are I LOVE them - if they did offer a slightly higher offset for the front I would do it because it is aggressive, not in a bad way but I was hoping I wouldnt rub at all. But its OK the grip and the suspension do feel amazing, just need to dial it in after I get the corner balancing done.

I do like keeping it clean tho! Just a bit frusterated when the 'little' things dont go as smooth as possible.

I should have more updates within the next week. The weather has been super nasty out and I havent been driving it as much as I'd like. Waiting to get on some open roads that I have takin hard and test the REAL differences.

Money shot!! Nicely done.:happydance:

Danny, car looks awesome :tup: Only thing is that the rear looks lower for some reason, maybe its the neg camber, you going to adjust that out a little in the rear? My car seams to be the same way, although I'm only running springs, so it's not quite as low as yours. Not that this means a whole lot, but i measured from the ground to the bottom of the wheelwell and the back of mine sits 1/2 lower then the front. Probably going to get the same coilovers you have so I can make it sit more even.
