Default Speed Bumps are No Longer My Friend.

Alberto and his friend Jay installed my Tanabe GF210s last night (Definitely owe you guys multiple rounds of beers). Just took some pics a few hours ago before it started raining. From what I've been told the springs should settle a little bit more (hopefully not too much more )

Yeah IIRC that's how Stillen designed their bumber. Would probably look better if is was even with the skirts, but I'm glad it's not lower than than the skirts. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to drive it anywhere.

Yep ... great deal with Ptuning. $475 total (tax included) for camber kit (SPC kit usually cost $220 shipped), install and alignment. I've heard of over $400 for the install and alignment alone.

From what I've heard the camber kit install is not easy at all.

I know I know ... read the thread. I'm looking to get 15mm spacers on all 4. Although after my camber kit is in stalled my rear wheels should stick out more.

yeah no rubbing turning the wheel, the drop in the front is a little less than the back (1" front 1.2" in the back).

LOL I thought his name was Steve, but you kept calling him "Jay". So I thought, well maybe it is Jay. How does calling him Jay insinuate him being cheap?
