It's a doo-doo photo and the car really needs a bath...
Got the new wheels and tires mounted, balanced, and installed to the car. Makes a big difference to the car. Unfortunately, it won't go on the alignment rack just yet. I need to lift the car up again and adjust one of the front coilover mounts - I didn't check the work my buddy did while helping me, and going to adjust the dampening, I realized he had installed it rotated in the wrong direction. Easy to do on these cars. I'll get that rotated in the correct orientation, dial in the camber on the two fronts, and check the preload on all the springs while I'm at it again. Then it goes to the alignment shop. Everything looks right otherwise - pleased with the level of drop (I need to measure what the height is now),
Almost ready for AutoX this weekend. It'll be a learning experience getting used to a new setup.
Update: Since it's not really a new thing done to it, but an addendum to this - the top was corrected last night (26 Feb). Camber was also adjusted all the way out - rears measured at around 2 degrees, and the front measured on both sides of 3. The setup is close enough for the alignment shop to flesh out for me.
