[NSFW] Mid-A Epic Random-ness: Third Encounter
May need to go to Hills to qork out the kinks in the suspension. got some rubbing in the back and it's not even, although it looks like I can't raise the car up anymore than it can go. fawking noob
Done that several times, figured it out. Have to get use to the incremental increases each time I adjust it. As it sits right now:





Bought the SPC camber kit and the tech that did the alignment said he can't adjust camber in the rear even though the SPC rear camber arm has been installed. Same Tech said I couldn't adjust the height in the rear any higher even though I did today...which is what led me to believe I should get a second opinion.

it's 1.2" lower in front and 2.5" lower in rear, the rear still rubs when i go over bumps and when I make turns. If I could adjust the camber I would be fine but apparently the camber arms I got adjust toe they said. Makes no sense to me

Don't lower it more I like lowered and functional which is what it seems you have accomplished. As you adjust camber in, toe goes out of spec. That's with just using arms. I had to use camber arms, "toe" arms, AND eccentric bolts to get for correct and get as much positive camber as I wanted (straight line traction)
The tech may be right in regards to your setup but didn't explain it correctly. Roll the fenders and be done with it.

I'm happy with how low it is just need to roll the fenders, purpose is for the occasional track days and if I go lower I won't have as much travel. Not sure what my alignment specs were something around -1.0
I used the SPC toe bolts that cane with the camber kit but after reading around it seems that bolt moves all the time throwing off the alignment, may need to buy the SPL bolts with the eccentric bolts to really dial it in correctly. Looks like the "standard" camber for my setup is around -2. Far as rolling the fenders thinking about taking it to Elite, you guys have any other recommendations?

Kyle before you drop anymore money on a dual setup is your car actually going to see track use? Because if you are not sure I really wouldn't waste the money... and if the answer is yes spend the money on seat time,
you wont know what to dial in till you actually track the car, and make an assessment

I also have a fender roller and I'm in Rockville. My friend has it at the moment.
But you are all over the place with what you want.
Best to sit and think what direction you wanna take on the car.
