that just means you need to find an enthusiast shop - stop going to places like discount tire or les schwab.

Ebay rear camber arms. No toe bolt kit (although I need one). No camber kit in the front (although I need one). Don't ever plan on putting one in the front, but I'll probably be adding the toe bolts soon for the rear.

They've been working out ok so far- I do a lot of driving and check them out every time I get under the car to at least change the oil. I've been pleasantly surprised by their quality.

I actually agree with the OP about the "stock wheels look better than 90% of aftermarket wheels". Stock wheels with spacers look great (cept those hideous 17s). ANyway nice start, a nice set of volks will complete the look tho.

How is the ride with this setup? Is it harsh? Good for daily driving?
I'm probably gonna go with the same springs/shocks.
And your car is sick

The ride isn't harsh in the least bit. The only thing I dislike is that the car tends to get a little "floaty" over bumps at speed (100+).
Thanks for the compliment!
