I'm surprised by how widespread this actually is. I figured it only happened here.

Also, I haven't checked my thanks in a month or so and it's only at 164 (as of this post). I've been checking mentions and quotes.

No I want to thank more posts, I know I am not funny enough to get thanked as much as you.

Haha I've had that problem in the past. But every once in a while I defeat it. I offered it the quotes and mentions to keep it happy, so at least I know when and where to communicate. Whether or not someone is happy about my communication is more or less irrelevant (unless they hate me, in which case I just cry.)

That really is weird. You're like Neo. It's great to have you back.

I mean you are back, right?

@jawn

I was looking through your build thread and didnt want to spam there so I'll ask here.

Regarding the SPC camber bolts, that was only for front, yes? The rear didn't need adjusting at all? Trying to read up on all of this since I'm leaning toward the RCE yellows for that mild drop you have but got confused and quit.

Also read a while back that with such a mild drop, no adjustable LCA is needed so stock is fine.

Correct. The shop was able to do a tiny amount of adjustments on my rear camber, but I don't have any camber bushings or lower control arms in the rear. -2 is an acceptable amount of rear camber to me. Some folks prefer -1.5, but I think a lot of that is driving style/tire compound dependent.

You shouldnt need it unless your off really bad from factory or are OCD and need it even. Mine was off almost a full degree when I installed my Yellows so I got adjustable bushings but I really dont recommend them and would say just get LCAs if you need it. Install and get the alignment then see where you are at

Thanks guys!

So just to clarify, get springs installed, get alignment, and if need be, get bolts/lca?
