Yeah, all it was is just unclipping that god awful 4 pin clip, and the one bolt holding the brake line. All I did was move it to the side for each coil.

Either way, its hitting the alignment shop after work. It's extremely dangerous braking the way it is right now. It handles like a dream though when I'm not braking, lol.

I'll post pics as well. Gotta make sure I'm at the height I want.

After I put mine on, it drove like crap - pulled to one side, felt awful. After i got it back from the rack - it. was. amazing.

Please call us immediately after your alignment if it's still weird. Hate for someone to be driving around like that.

I just put mine on last night and have not had it aligned yet. It feels terrible right now, like I'm steering a land yacht. Accelerating pulls it to the left, coming off the gas brings it to the right.

Need to get the ride height sorted and then head to the alignment place.

Yeah get your alignments peoples!!!

I've never heard of a car NOT needing an alignment after a suspension swap. All mine have always needed them, so I reserve judgement until after they're done. I try to schedule suspension swaps on Sunday and alignments on Monday. Or Friday then Saturday. Or any day, really, but more people are available to hangout on the weekends, generally.

The week I was on unaligned Konis, my car tried to kill me numerous times. Came in with over a degree of toe out in the rear.

Okay YOU'RE the n00b for driving like that for an entire week. For shame, Sir!

Racecomp Engineering · 08-19-2013, 06:29 PM

Well he's definitely a noob.

But yeah it can feel a little...wobbly...going from stock to unaligned coilovers.

FR-S Matt · 08-19-2013, 07:03 PM

Surprisingly, I have no wobble and I can actually drive okay.

Here is what is not okay. I have like a few degrees camber in front. Almost looks like \ but not quite that far. My alignment shop is ordering camber bolts to correct it at the height I'm at. Assuming those will give me the negative camber / flush look in the front? The back looks absolutely perfect.

Alignment is happening tomorrow.

As for the veering off to the right issue while braking, here is what I've come down to

A) It's a crimped brake line that might need to be readjusted in the back
B) Master Cylinder Brace is too tight (Not sure if that affects it)
C) Something else is screwed up!
