I could not run anywhere near as much camber as I wanted after getting top hats(only at -1.4, end link is almost rubbing body). The ride is firmer than stock, it's noticeable and it doesn't beat you up, car feels more planted in a corner. Honestly went into this thinking I didn't need all the adjustable stuff and by the end of it realized I was wrong, once these wear out I am going to pick up some Tein coilovers and call it a day.
Also don't bother asking Showa for instructions, these kits are "Japan only" in their eyes and they don't want to help or support people in another country.

I bring back this old thread just to ask you how your Showa Evolution behave after so long time.
Are the same comfortable with the factory suspension, do they hold well compared with Bilstein or Sachs tS suspension (if you have driven a tS), and generally what is your opinion about them?
I prefer them from tS suspension cause they advertise them for comfort, at least they share similar dual flow valve system with Ohlins DFV and KONI FSD that have fast/slow suspension bump for uneven roads...
By the way you are more lowered than what Showa suggests for your model year, why?
