In the post you quoted RCE are talking about Motorsport dampers like Bilstein club sports, motons, jrz, etc rather than sports dampers like the b14's. The same principles would apply but from what I've seen most of the sports dampers have more of a focus on high speed damping for better street civility.

Does anyone know if we can run Raceseng CasCam plates without using their spring perch?

Yes, but you'll have to come up with an alternate spring perch of nearly identical design, you won't be able to re-use the OE spring perch, might be able to make it work with a little adapter bushing thingy, but imo you wouldn't want to as you'd raise the ride height by >1/4"

Are you trying to save a few bucks or thinking of a quirky setup?

Just trying to save a few bucks and that I noticed that they sell it without the spring perch thats why I was wondering about it as I currently am using kw spring perch for my setup.

@Racecomp Engineering Plan to grab some RCE Yellows for an otherwise stock suspension and want to know what other suspension bits I need to achieve the recommended alignment. Camber bolts up front suffice?

[gramicci101]

What are you doing with your car? Daily driving? HDPE? Autocross?

I have Yellows and camber bolts in the top hole. My front camber is maxed out at -1.7. You can run two sets of camber bolts or a camber/crash bolt combo and get more. This is fine for me for daily driving.

Your rear camber will be whatever it ends up as from lowering. Mine is -2.0 on both sides. If they come out grossly uneven or you want the ability to adjust, you'll want to get rear lower control arms. For myself, I'm happy with -2.

Thanks @gramicci101. It's a daily and sees ~5 HPDEs a year.

[Racecomp Engineering]

@gramicci101 nailed it.

Camber bolts up front are cheap and make a huge difference, so I def recommend them.

Rear LCAs aren't 100% necessary for a mostly street car, but can be useful to dial things in just right. And sometimes you end up with uneven rear camber from the factory which is good to fix.

I would move the OEM bottom bolt to the top hole, put a camber bolt in the bottom hole, and get as much negative camber as you can in the front. It'll probably be somewhere around -1.5 to -2.0. Set the front toe to 0. The rear camber will be whatever it comes out to after lowering. Set the rear toe to slightly toe in.

Using both gets more like -2.5

I already have coilovers, upgraded front and rear end links, rear LCAs and toe arms.

What would be the next logical suspension upgrade(s) to compliment these parts?

Driver mod?

More seriously, there's not much left.

Have you already done all the various bushings?

Maybe different swaybars?

[Clipdat]

No, I don't have any bushings at all, also stock sways.

Driver mod. Front control arm bushings. Rear upper control arm bushings.
