I didn't need the camber kits for the Swifts though I put them on anyway.

Good to know. Thanks

Anyone else having issues with the Carsmo *****? They were all free spinning on me this morning, I guess it's cold?

What do you mean? Spinning but not making any changes? Do you think the metal part spins free of the plastic part within the ****?

Take one off and look at it. Sounds like the plastic insert is unglued. Although all four at once... that seems unlikely.

Unless the glue behaves funny at a certain temperature. I'd assume Carsmo would have chosen a wide temperature glue.
How cold was it this morning?

RexHavoc/Chris, your calipers look great! Very unique.

Rochester/John, the spacers look nice. Tempting....

I've got two of them doing that with me every so often.

Where were you guys 3 days ago when I ordered mine?
They arrived today and were installed like 30 minutes ago. At least the tin is nice

All four... Leave it to me to find a way.

It was 23 when I got in the car. I was able to pop two back in and then the others were okay once it warmed up to 36 or so with the heat cranked.

Just because one would install spacers, that doesn't mean there is no longer any function... there is still function depending on how you set them up. a nice flush look won't ruin function at all I'm more of a function over form guy too but if done properly you can achieve a nice stance and yet be functional

Installed pads today but wasn't able to to get to the fluid. No impression yet as EBC says to drive 200 miles first, then do the bed in procedure. Checked out the rotors and they were smooth as a babies butt so no need for turning. Had I known this I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of taken off the rotors but it is what it is. Now for the fun part. I'm noticing slight vibration at all speeds after putting the rotors back on/new pads. Is it possible that some of the rotors aren't seated perfectly or maybe one of my wheels? I don't see what else could cause the vibration.

Odd that EBC recommends 200 miles before bedding in the pads?

Did you run some fine grit sandpaper over the rotors or anything?

My guess: you have slight deposits from your old pads, that your new, thicker pads are coming in constant contact with.
