Haha, yeah she's pretty cool. I think she's trying to steal my Z from me though, so I may have to be careful

I thought I heard you mention needing to get camber arms with the Swifts, I was just wondering if you happened to know how far off your camber was with the install?

Didn't you say she claimed the Subie? Looks like you'll have to get a 5.0 now

Yeah, but I lent her the Z for the weekend and she wants to take it. Looks like I may be taking my Z mod fund to buy a bigger turbo for the Rex.

Just keep complaining about the road noise in the Z. Soon she'll become paranoid and hate it

No, I just remembered some thread somebody made about that. They said all the complaints about road noise on the forum made him paranoid and notice the road noise, which really bothered him.

Yes, I have to wait till Tuesday to get the info hopefully as he was out of town. It can't be a whole lot though I would think.

I emailed Swift in Ontario, CA and they said that they've been told by customers that camber kits are not needed. However, Swift says they recommend a camber kit with any kind of height change so I'm going to go with it.

No I went out to D and V in Chantilly. I don't believe AAM has the ability to due alignments.

That's a lot of rear camber.

Only slightly more than I used to run on my Civic in high school

I think it's also barely out of spec for the Z
