In the pics you can see the fitment of the coilovers (natch) as well as the orange Avo bushings on the front control arms and the Whiteline rear camber correction & subframe bushings out back. We also added Goodridge SS lines and AP Racing DOT 5 fluid in addition to the pads to round out the 'brakes' part of the deal (only later on did I come to regret running the Hawk HP+ pads on the street).

You may notice that the front shocks are actually rotated 'backwards' at the top to gain camber. Not sure if this is intended by RS*R but they fit perfectly and it seems to work. You can see the OEM crash bolts on up front too.

In the end, the alignment specs were:

Front camber: -1.2 degrees
Front toe: 0.05 degrees toe out

Rear camber: -1.5 degrees
Rear toe: 0.75 degrees toe in

Damper settings:

Height: Out of the box (Moto-P spec so roughly 36mm front & 32mm rear drop)
Front damping: 36 clicks soft (Moto-P spec)
Rear damping: 24 clicks soft (Moto-P spec)
