Ok asking as I want to ditch mu WL UCA as it seems can't get the camber exact no matter what, the guy who originally put em in I think F**ked em up. I was thinking the longer term and going to get WLs non adjustable upgraded top UCA bushings they have out now at vendors, Cusco LCA and WL Toe Arms....

Coils are on and they feel great tho not sure how much of that was alginment.

A tad harsher than stock no noise or issues on this side.

Will post a much better review after some autox and when I get some real km on the coils

Finally installed the conical washers detailed earlier and my clunking noise in the front has gone away. Will see over the next few days if it comes back or is truly gone for good.

My sound in the passenger side front appears to be the dust boot getting caught up with the spring compression... I will keep monitoring it.

Thanks for the washers by the way. We looked at it and we determined what the washers did and now it makes sense why it made sounds at turning and low speeds.

I just ordered some of the washers from eBay to get them quicker. Totally missed that part where these were needed. My coilovers haven't shipped yet, thankfully. Hopefully the install will be a breeze and I'll do an alignment shortly after that.

Got my Coils in last week, let everything settle, did a few more height adjustments, and I'm almost there as of this pic. I just need to raise the rear .5" and i'll be set.



Kidding, here it is:




I've put about 50 miles or so on them, waiting on alignment this Wednesday.

I got the 350/350 swing spring option, and they definitely contribute to a harsher city ride. Now, that's what I want, cause this is my track car - so I'm very happy with them.

The install was pretty straight forward, had to call Myles once for a quick question, and of course, middle of the evening he answers

Overall very happy. No bangs, clanks or other odd noises.
