i was surprised when i saw those numbers. I was expecting to be closer to zero not -2.
just ordered front and rear SPC camber kit.

Overall I am happy with the new look.

Next may be Diode Dynamic LEDs

SPC seems to be the go-to kit. Good luck. I'm hoping your experience is an anomaly. Plus, AWD vs. my RWD, so knock on wood.

Man, wheels lead to springs, springs lead to a camber kit...

yea i know. I figure since i have invested money into the car I might as well do it correctly with the camber kit.

I am waiting for my camber kit to be installed so that I can throw on my 15mm wheel spacers.

I guess it all depends on what your alignment turns out to be, I am all in spec except for the camber, and that is just outside of OEM specs. That was a while ago, so maybe the springs have settled a little, but i think that the RWD drop is less in front, so maybe that wont affect the geometry too much. Here's for hoping, right?

Yeah, hoping. Feels weird that the front/rear camber kit costs significantly more than the damn springs.

Well, went back to 245/35 in the front to negate the rubbing. I love how fickle I am so now I either have to learn to love the gap in the front or go to coilovers. Yay.

At least you never see snow down there..less maintenance and things to go wrong with coilovers. If I had your weather/climate, I'd be on Airrex and Accuair w/ my DD coupe.

I'm finished with coilovers on my daily at least, it becomes a hassle and I feel terrible trudging them through salt laden roads all winter.. hence why I'm sticking to simple drop with Swift and Koni yellows for the best shock option at that price point.

I will be curious to hear your opinion of the Swifts once you get them installed I should have let you drive my G, since I have the Eibachs, for comparison. I have been thinking about Swifts because, correct me if I'm wrong, there isn't as much of a drop with the Swifts as there is with the Eibachs.

Well the first thing I'll probably do is replace my tires. After that, I might buy them back again.
