I really like the bilstein kit, enjoy.

Good call on the camber bolts. I've also read that adjustable end links might also be needed? If so, is a brand like RacerX acceptable? What would be an acceptable camber reading when I bring it for alignment. Should I be considering RLCAs? Also thinking of getting new OEM top hats or Pedders. Im not too familiar with the Raceseng CASCAM plates, but how are they different than everything else I see out there. Overall goal is to lower the vehicle without sacrificing alignment settings too much or increase my tire wear.



I did notice that compared to other coilover systems there are three rings. One for Preload, one to lock the preload, and the last one for height.


Bilstein comes with two, which means that there's no preload lock and the height gets adjusted by the second ring.



Maybe I should take the installation manual out and start reading it, I briefly skimmed thru it and the German translation to English was pretty bad.
