Default Cusco camber arms and Zeals oh MY!

Hey guys how is it going.
I came to work today and i found these from the ups guy

Anyways.
The are cusco front camber arms and Zeal coilovers.

The quality is amazing. The cusco arms although they won't be seen have a nice sparkly blue to them.
and its nice that i can get more negative camber in the front with them. I will try and get it installed later today. The zeals are nice too. Rears are inverted.
More pics to come don't worry =)

FYI
I am selling my used RS*R Springs in the F/S Section for 150 bucks

yeah same spring rates.
ALSO GET THIS!!!
i am super stoked about this part.
the new zeals are redesigned.
They now allow the car to go LOWER!!!!

I went to the lowest setting cause i've had zeals before and the zeals fully lowered was perfectly flush for me at the time
but NOW
it slammed the car soooo much
i am talking 1 inch worth of tire and then it was all wheel.

but anyhow. I will raise the car back up
I have wheels and tires i will show you guys a sneak peak tomorrow morning
and then i will show the complete pics later on

Also just a teaser
Here are my wheel specs
19x9 +0
19x10 +5

Tire sizes are 245/35r19 and 275/30r19
I know it is smaller than stock the rear but i want the car to look super level

LOl, you sound like me when I put my JIC's on 2 years ago. Get ready to spend $$$ on new tires every 4000-10,000 miles in the rear. EVen with a SPC kit and Kinetix camber/traction arms my rear camber was fuked. I went through 5 sets of rear tires in 1.5 years. Trust me you'll get tired of it quick, and end up raising the car.

Ok guys..
we lowered the car to the limits on the Zeal coilovers.
It went LOW. We test fitted the wheels on the car and they were PERFECT!!!
i am soo happy. Sadly however i did raise it up 1/2 inch to clear speed bumps. Anyways hope you guys enjoy the teaser pics. Also wanted to show you what the other side with stock tires.

Also i wanted to comment about ride

The ride on the zeals are amazing
i totally forgot what they felt like but boy am i glad i got them. Especially on highway with the joints in the road, i no longer see saw and it is very controllable. The turn in response is phenomenal i can easily take turns when before if i gave it a hard engagement it would understeer a little
now it is riding on rails. The rear of the coils are inverted which allows shock adjustment on the bottom. The megan racing, teins and other ones are on the top. Not the best setup every cause you can't really get to them. Ok so they are on and i love them now i am going to play w/ the dampening it was at 1/1 all of last night.

Where did you buy that mini ramp that I seen in the last picture? That looks like a great solution to get to the front center jacking point.

i have a spare set of them they are takata's
i used them sooo much
only way to get the car jacked up when i am slammed

Believe me i can't drive over speed bumps basically the car just looks pretty and handles like a monster.

here are some pics of the whole car with the new suspension and new wheels.

Also got an alignment.
with the cusco front camber mount got my camber up to 3.7 degrees negative and my rear are at 4.3 degrees negative. The toe front and rear surprisingly especially in the rear were able to go back to zero.

Let me know what you guys think.

Ok dialed in suspension a bit.. Even with the massive ammounts of camber front and rear the car handles rather well. Also ride quality on street is amazing. It rides like stock even with the 35 series tires. Zeals are A++. The cuscos are amazing They are sadly not for adding positive camber it is worthless for that sadly. you can only move it 2mm outbound to remove negative camber.
