Either getting those springs or the sportlines, what wheel specs do you have? Let's see some pics!

I wasn't giving you a hard time. Just having fun with it. Everyone that isn't new knows that Jeff has bee working his rear off for months to get this event set up. He has to have many many hours invested. We all appreciate his hard work.

Anyone from anywhere is welcome, the point is for us western peeps not to drive so damn far, and to get to know each other a little better. Hang out, grab a beer, some food, snap some photos, show some mods whatever...

Add your name to the list if you can make it.

I won't be able to make it. My car is in the shop, repairing a dent that was caused by a hit-n-run in the parking lot.

GT Spec LCAs are about $400, the SPC ones are cheaper and easier to adjust.

Thanks for the input! Do you have any experience with either LCA? Right now I'm running 18x8.75 on BF goodrich sport comp2 225/40/18. Eventually, I would like to track the car and use the stock wheels for that. Do you think the SPC one would be ok for track (such as autox) use or should I go the more expensive route?

I have the GT Spec LCAs, they are pretty easy to install, adjustment can be a pain because you need some pretty huge wrenches (20mm+). The GT Spec LCAs are the same as the Cusco LCAs, but in a different color, and noticeably cheaper. I wanted the whiteline ones, but they are obscenely expensive and I don't need all the extra adjustment points.

The SPC ones should be fine for autocross, they are easier to adjust at the track if you need to, and they are built about the same as the stock units.

If that happened to me, this'd be my reaction, in this order:







Sucks, dude. Hope the body shop fixes her right.
