See his last post...

Highways with evenly spaced large seams (like he mentioned in his post) are going to be difficult for any coilover to master.

Sounds like a perfect marketing opportunity for Koni's FSD dampers. Because, you know, frequency select?

I like Koni FSDs but they are almost always REALLY soft and not intended for sporty driving. Sometimes the road is just bad!

As I did mention the bounciness has gone away with the breaking in. Plus it was the seams in the road at a constant interval that probably caused it. But the same section of highway the ride is much better now.

And a photo just because.

Lowered on RCE Tarmac 0s using SPC LCA with 245/35x18 on 18x8.5 et 38 all the way around.

Nice ^

Gotta find some of those conical washers to get mine installed, sooner than later.

Should have asked, I didn't include them as I thought you were re-using the stock top hats.

I can always drop them in the mail for you.

I was under the impression you need the conical washers, regardless if you're re-using stock top hats or not. I am going to be re-using my stock top hats.

Hey, if you'd be willing to do that for me, I'd greatly appreciate it as it would save me the hassle.

I used my stock top hats and I used the conical washer. That is what I was told numerous times.

There are certain camber plates that do not require them but rest assured the OEM top hats do require them.

Installed my SPC LCA's. Butchered my rear alignment again, lol. Steering wheel is not centered and my rear left coil magically dropped some more. I'll get an alignment sheet today. The LCA's were pretty easy to install. Aiming for low toe in the rear, 0 in front, and about -1.5 camber in front and close to -1.8 in the rear.

Here are my alignment specs. Decided not to go with the more negative camber route. I think I'll be just fine and I am happy with the outcome. It does handle extremely well now. Let me know your thoughts on it.

OICU812 · 09-16-2013, 07:13 PM

You're 18x9.5" all way around correct? How you getting away with near zero camber up front and so on...? Or am I reading your finals wrong?
