. I am just waiting for GST to get the camber bolts in. I'll keep you guys posted with how things go. Excited .

yeah I'm planning to mix up my suspension again in the spring.
RCE camber plates. Spec C struts. Pink springs. rear camber bolts. New sways.
Selling my spec C springs and my mrt camber plates (noltec)
I'd sell the whole spec C set up but no one seems to want it....it rips. Best struts I've seen or driven in my opinion.

I think its really stupid, no offense to people that do this, to put springs on stock suspension. Its just asking for the stock struts to **** over. And yea I am really excited. I have tried to be really careful about choosing parts and shops to provide service etc...because in my opinion this is probably the single most important mod I've done, and probably will do. Turbo no problem, tuning no problem, but my suspension that grounds me...need to be really careful with what I am doing. I'll post pics in a bit . And onemanarmy, that sounds like it's going to be a sweet setup

. And onemanarmy, that sounds like it's going to be a sweet setup .I ran the spec C stuff before and it was awesome. It was just a bit too low in the rear. Wagon.
So I pulled it.
I hate what I have now....pretty much stock. sedan rear sway bar. Perrin endlinks and pink springs.
So I'm either going to sell the whole spec C set up and do the koni inserts or I'm gonna put the spec C struts back on and use what I have...which I think I'll be happy with.
the spec C stuff is stiff as hell.

I hear stories that the Tein springs lower the car too much and blow the stock strut, but the Eibachs are fine to run with stock struts.

Ok
So my appointment with GST is tomorrow afternoon, and my appointment for my alignment with AI is Friday afternoon. I am posting some pics of the BC's, my whiteline rear camber bolts, and my stock ride height.
