Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out. I've never done something like this before. Do I install everything and then get an alignment done? I think I might YOLO (sorry) and go for the Ohlins and Perrin 19mm front with either the 19mm rear or 22mm rear sway bars. Also going to try to get the camber plates refinished in red....

Probably use the Perrin endlinks? the ones that come with the Ohlins? I'm not sure. @DarrenDriven I'd love help installing these from someone who's done it before, I don't care his age.

Yes.. install everything and then get the alignment last. I recommend that you get an alignment at a tuner shop. Avoid the cookie cutter alignment shops..

Anywhere Specifically?
Probably doing install at Darrens, so somewhere close would be good.

PRE Racing is about 7.5 mi from his house

Perfect. I'll start buying shit then. Anyone using the Perrin Sway's? I know @Chen is, but he said the 19mm/22mm makes his car really tail happy.

I like the perrins cause you can pick which setting you want with how stiff they are. I also have Perrin end links. Works great. But I'm not really sure what they do.

Do you have the machined ones or the adjustable ones?

This is what I will be getting with my ST coils if I go that route. Caster and camber adjustment, and it looks badass. They will custom make it for any coils for no additional cost.

I am rocking AMR Engineering Coilovers, local in Vancouver WA. Love them.

Also rocking the Perrin F/R Sway and F/R End Links with the 1 Piece Machined front end link. Car is very stable and planted. If the rear is going to come out its very predictable and controllable.

What's the cost on the AMR's? What are the spring rates? Are they fully adjustable?

Adjustable.

Check out the MSI top hats at rallysport direct. The company makes both front and rear adjustable top hats. I installed the front ones and will eventually install the rears.

Thought this is the proper place to put this question...

I'm having a tough time deciding between the ST coils and KW V1 coils, basically is the mucho extra bucks worth the SS on the KW? or does the PNW (specifically Seattle) not get enough snow --> then salt for the need of stainless steel?

Is this deal still going on? I would like to instal some STI springs.
