Adam @ RCA decided to tease me with an actual picture of my coilovers (been waiting since the beginning of December)
They are finally being shipped to me via FedEx. Also called Corner3 Garage to schedule an alignment and have an install date set. Honestly huge update/relief for me after months of delays (in no way Adam's fault).
Also planning an ARC-style wide oil cooler setup (very similar to jblz's) and already received the actual Setrab core
and currently waiting for Earl's AN hose ends (already have a Mocal thermostatic sandwich plate); this cooler will be mounted from a custom tube bumper that will replace the aluminum crash bar/absorbers. This setup will not come to fruition until my friends have the free time to fabricate my bumper/cage but fortune favors the prepared.
Will update next weekend with before/after suspension pics

Thanks King & Mike
(princesas) so they revised the shocks completely before assembly/shipment from overseas. RCA put in a large order before Christmas including a couple 2 and 3-way systems so it wasn't a matter of quantity at all. Honestly I'm just glad that they are finally on their way.

I'm running the same spl v.1 but with ksport coils. Just wanted to touch basis with you on alignment issues I have encountered as well as I would like to know what you have done for your alignment setting.
I installed my arms a couple months ago and everything was going good until just the other day. I was luckily just pulling into parking space when my front passenger side just dropped in and crashed. I got out and looked and what I seen was that the eye bolt was busted out. Upon further inspection it appeared that the alignment guy who did my car only had it in about three threads deep and the eye bolt just ripped out.
So needless to say I had it towed to my family's sheetmetal shop so I can do some repairs(pull the arms out and chase the threads). When I went back to install them I put both the eye bolt and the camber sleeve at 50% extruding. Then I went to a more reputable alignment shop and let them know my issue and were I set the arms at. They told me they didn't feel comfortable extruding out any further cause they don't know what the max settings are.
So I'm just wondering on what you might know and have done. I'll keep in touch and great build by the way, super clean.
Also wondering if you have the original instal sheet/directions for those specific arms. If so could you email me a copy that would help me out greatly, thanx

^^^ Thanks for the compliment, sending PM.
Long story short: I got into an accident omw to get an alignment. I'm completely fine; Z's hood, bumper, rad support, etc. damaged. No airbag deployment. Dropped it off at West Jones Auto in Rancho. Will update when it is repaired and aligned.

Damn dude that sucks! I recently contacted West Jones about repainting my car lol maybe I'll see yours there when I go drop mine off. Glad you're okay. Still sucks though. :/
