Before putting the toe bolt on did you trim/cut out the hole for the toe to make it bigger?
If you got the camber kit new it should come with a small paper template to make the cut.

If you didn't do this you can't adjust the toe and it's basically stock.

Hahah, shoulda read the dirrections before I through them out.

Well I got the slot drilled, toe still isn't registering on the alignment. Its probably an operator error , the shop has no experience with lowered cars but its free. I have an appt. on monday at a different shop . What type of allignment rack are you guys using ?

^^ haha yeah you need to trim/cut the hole.. Or better yet just buy the toe arms, way better adjustment.

The SA Zs use an in-ground alignment, I love it..

This was the main thing I was confused about. From what I read on the suspension sticky, after you drop the z more then 1-1.5 inches the SPL toe bolt will not get you back in spec. Yet I see many in this thread with springs in the stock location without problems. Is there something else that can help u get back in spec? Or is the best option to get true coilovers (spring over shock in rear) and replace spring bucket with lower toe arm?

just curious to know what you have done to ease the tire hitting the frame from being so low?


for those who don't know the GR + PRO's w/SSD are stifffff super stiff and if you remove two rings or collars or whatever you call them from each side for the rears you can achieve this flush/tucked/hellaflush look.

My car handles like a carving knife. no roll at all..

very nice
i don't really think i have a problem with that.. all my fender liner have holes in them and are are super shaved but no problems with tires i think



and royal no love for me?!?!

So is consensus now to go super dumped, the coilover of choice is:

GR + PRO's w/SSD?

Anyone care to help? Thanks!
