^Ask for Randy over there. He's a personal friend of mine. Very nice guy and wheel tec is an excellent place for high end wheels.

NIce ride!! where did you go for the front light's.. Did you DIY??

Did you notice if your springs settled after a few day's?? I must say the car does drive better with the springs...

I was also told if yuou want more of a flush drop you can also cut one coil from the springs.. I don't think I will be doing that!!

Thanks..I will consider it in the near future.. all this stuff is costing me a fortune.. I currently have my car in the shop getting it aligned.. the tech stated that the car seems to be sitting fine and just needs some alignment considering the drop was minimal.. I think the car sits nice and I will probably leave it like that for now.

I will get use to it.. I hope!!

Get a camber kit. I have the least aggressive drop with my tein s-techs and I still had negative camber. I'll be installing it shortly and I should be back to nuetral with my camber. Even @ 2 degrees my tires show signs of feathering and inner wear.

Send me a link where to get the kit.. whats the cost?

I just got my car back after the alignment and that also made a huge difference. I also noticed that when I had just the rims the steering wheel seemed off.. Now everything is well aligned..

I will definetly take that camber kit into account, please send some info on that.. Where did you get it and how much??

I am not stressing it as much considering that I drive the car about three times a month if that..

Thanks, Was it easy to install or did you have someone install them for you? how much did it cost?

Do you need anything for the front?

Do you need to re-align the car after it's installed??

Sorry about all the questions!

Thanks,

its ok.....i did the install myself ...and yes it was a b**ch to get them in place.........but its nothing you prob couldnt do yourself..........i did not use anything for the front......i put the camber kit on with the springs....i did the springs, spring mount cut and camber kit all at one time.......then i got it alligned..cost about 70 for alignment .....and the man at the shop came over and thanked me for the camber kit...because it said..it was so much easier to align.......i think that answers everything...let me know if you need anything else.

SPC now has camber bolts as well so you don't have to install the arms, they have a +-3 deg adjustment vs +-4 deg of the arms, so it should be enough unless you have some radical requirements

I thought you were talking about the front! I already knew they had for the rear. Oh well, I need the front and rear setup.

I'm going to try out the Nitto Invo's this year. I hope their quiet. My T1R's are roaring because thier on their last leg.

The people who cut their springs are those damn kids with civics. The bounce like their cars have hydraulics or something. Looks like shiit in my opinion.

Can you send sme more info regarding that set-up.. So the arms are not needed with these bolts??

I just noticed this morning that my springs should be adjusting as I noticed that the right rear side is a bit higher than the left side.. When I recently installed the springs they were a bit higher on both sides.. so I really hope its a good sign..

I dont drive the car often and I might not be driving the car for the rest of the week until next week end.. Does anyone know if there is some more room for spring adjustment, would it still take place if the car is just parked for another week??

Thanks
