I'm making a parts list, so in addition to coilovers, rubber and wheels, looks like I need LCA and camber bolts. Which ones do you run? Would you recommend them? I need to keep the wheel/tire flush or sucked to the fender, else I wont pass vehicle inspection here, so the devil will be in the details

if you need to keep the wheels flush with the fender, i'd go with 8.5" wide all around, +42 offset, face 2 in the 57xtreme. probably with 235/40/18 tire size.

I'm looking at these https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/product...el=57Xtreme_XM , so I think the sizing is the same though. It says face 1 and 2 but I don't see anything in the images. I'll have to find a dealer and work it out i guess. Thanks so much for the help, I'm pretty lost in all this right now. It's my first time, and I'm dealing with the language barrier

Do Coilovers eliminate the need for the LCAs in the back, or will I need to purchase both?

You'll still need LCAs to adjust camber in the rear.

5/20/17 - Installed a Marsh Power House (MPH) Fabrication GT-spec carbon fiber hood (http://www.marshpowerhousefab.com/pr...86-gtspec-hood), after seeing this thread:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116268 I bought it to reduce under hood temps during stop and go traffic in summer, and to increase efficiency of the radiator by increasing airflow on spirited drives. It should work the same as cutting vents in the OEM hood, which I didn't want to do. I'm not expecting it to reduce peak oil temps but to aid in coolant recovery time between pulls during occasional canyon runs. I'm leaving it unpainted (it comes with a clear coat) because it's an additional cost, it blends in pretty well with my DGM car, and if I ever need to return to stock, it's easier to sell an unpainted CF hood. Observations - it's very light and rigid. The backing structure around the perimeter makes it stiff, and it doesn't feel flimsy at all. The rear corners are slightly high (maybe 1/8"), so I've let Joel know about that for future builds. No biggie to me. All the holes for the OEM rubber/plastic seals are drilled and the seals transfer over perfectly. I got mine with the tubes to direct airflow from the NACA ducts down to the coil packs, but I haven't installed them yet. There's probably no need to install them for daily driving, but might be nice to have them for canyon runs or track. After observing both oil and coolant temps (via my P3 vent gauge) during daily driving, I notice that my coolant temps don't exceed 194°F as much as they used to. In stop and go traffic, the coolant temp doesn't rise as much as it did in hot summer weather. If it does, peak temps are a few degrees lower than I observed before, as the hot air is allowed to exit the engine compartment. Once I start moving, coolant temps drop faster than before. I've noticed oil temps seem to drop faster as well after a few strong pulls.

Happy New Year, all. 2019 was a pisser because of the WTY-84 (valve spring) recall which is required for registration in California. After waiting for more than a year to see what people were doing, I finally had the Edelbrock supercharger un-installed by CSG (who had installed it originally) in December. The car is currently at the dealership for the recall as of today. The Edelbrock is up for sale as I do not plan on reinstalling it. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138163
Also sold my MPH hood as it's no longer needed. I'll miss the supercharger for sure, but don't want to re-install it and have something happen due to the recall work. If anything happens, the dealer will point to the supercharger for sure.
