Bilstein B6 with Raceseng CasCam top plate
If I use B6 struts with RCE Yellows and Raceseng CasCam top plates with the thrust bearing upper spring perch, will the "stack height" be different than the OEM top mount, resulting in something other than the nominal 20mm ride height reduction at the front?

I am running Moton Clubsport suspension. I recently fitted a set of Voodoo 13 LCA's which effectively lower the rear of the car 18mm as I was lowered around 40mm and wanted to regain 18mm of bump travel. However, now I've fitted the Voodoo arms I seem to have lost most of my droop travel as I've had to raise the rear dampers spring platforms right up to try to return to the around 40mm lowering I had before I fitted the arms.
I'm not entirely happy with this setup as the limited droop travel means I fear I will now top out rather than bottom out the damper. I presume the issue is that the Moton dampers must be shorter than OEM and so already lower the car meaning the addition of the Voodoo arms has now lowered the rear too much. Am I right or am I totally on the wrong track? I'm presuming a return to the oem arms may be my best option? I've added a picture below showing how the arms are sat currently with the car lowered around 45mm. Any help would be much appreciated Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk |

I've got about 15k kms on my T0s now, all street driving. I'm wondering how often I should have them re-corner balanced? Or if that's only an adjustment that I would make if I notice an issue?

I've got Tein Flex Z's that make clunking sounds in the front when slowely driving forward or reverse. I'm lowered at about 2" and have read that the clunking may just be the nature of some coilovers or that the end links could be binding due to being that low. Any advice on end links that may resolve the sound? I'm not tracking the car, just spirited street driving, so I don't think I need anything too high end.

I'd love to understand how to reduce how much my ride height sags with weight fluctuations. If I have a full tank of gas and a trunk full of jerry cans, the ride height in the rear will be noticeably lower. Is this a result of soft springs?
Here's my setup in part:
Here's a pic of how it's currently sitting. I'll likely raise it up a bit, and go back to my previous compression settings but I've had this problem (and rubbing) at higher ride heights too. Are my springs too soft? Am I feeling the 2mm difference between my +38 setup and the +40 that most other folks seem to run? Am I too low? (probably?) Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! |

Is it possible to get 0 toe with -1.0 camber in the rear with just SPC LCA's without having to install the toe bushings? Car has a 15mm drop. Pretty sure alignment guy at Firestone is a moron.

Changing compression settings will not affect this in any way, so don't do it for that reason. Your car looks a little low IMO. - Andrew |

I have -1.6 right now but the toe is 0.18, is this acceptable? Fronts all fucked up with FL -1.1 and FR -0.5 and a toe that has the steering wheel crooked to go straight.
