Thinking of going back to 9 to keep noise down from the Z1 race arms. I think the 10 is causing binding

Hmmm...I'll have to give the Hankooks a try next time around. I haven't really heard great things about them. So I never bothered to check them out. But I'll keep an open mind on this. I'm always looking for better gear. Thanks.

If it's any advice I've given to anyone and everyone asking me about my car and modding, I've told them this. As soon as you change one thing on the car, the next subset of things connected to it may have to be changed as well. The rabbit hole gets deeper and deeper from there.

You have to really truly enjoy working on your car and spending disgusting amounts of money on it never looking back or regretting it. Not only that, but you have to do an insane amount of research to get it right so either you don't goof it up or you're reassured that the person doing the work for you is guiding you in the right direction. Mod wisely my friend.

Damn, I'm seriously watered down here with my specs LOLs. My caster is at 8.7 and I thought that was high. I have to see how the car feels with more aggressive specs.

I installed my Bilstein shocks and swift lowering springs last week (stock arms all around) and then threw it on the alignment rack and the cambers weren't that bad if I remember correctly -2 front and -2 rear camber , casters were in the green and toe I adjusted to 0 in the front and spec in the rear and the car rides nicely.

im gonna throw it on the alignment rack again tomorrow after I install the wheel spacers and tweak it a bit more
