Looks good Jive. Were the Whiteline rear toe arms easy to adjust? The alignment shop was not a fan of adjusting my Cusco rear camber arms.

Jive Turkey · 05-17-2013, 10:14 PM

so i needed whiteline Toe arms to fix my issues. To be honest with you with this kind of drop you might be able to get away with everything stock and natural camber...but i didn't want to risk it.

yeah the clearance on the control arms sucks so you gotta jack the rear up to gain clearance...

so final parts are Cusco rear camber arms and whiteline rear toe arms. They are really easy to adjust, just make sure you Anti-Seize everything.

Did you use anything for the front.

Jive Turkey · 05-18-2013, 01:56 AM

Absolutely love your car. Mine is quite similar - GBS + staggered 57xtremes in matte graphite. Been following your build thread since long before I bought mine 2 weeks ago.

I'm looking into switching to the KW V3s. Did you find it hard to get them to a comfortable setting (compression/dampening)? I really want something that rides about the same as stock but firms up in the corners as you mentioned.

-3.5+...this is pre settling all the way and final alignment

Jive Turkey · 06-03-2013, 01:45 AM

small update. did some driving on backroads last weekend. buddy of mine snapped some shots. i messed with my KW's a bit to set the rebound/compresison/etc and OMFG what a difference it made. the car was so planted, and my friends said that the car looks insane cornering, was so flat! ZERO issues with clearance when driving hte car really hard and still ZERO issues DD'ing this setup. i'm NOT slammed by any means.

his plates are NOO TRQ, mine are NOPWR. LOL

and then i gave her a bath.

and some shots from chicago! check the thread out!

Final Camber -2 all around and .00 front toe and -.08 in the rear correct? How much did you drop?

Jive Turkey · 06-03-2013, 11:10 PM

idk a measurement of how much i lowered it. but i have no wheel gab in the front and maybe 1/4 in the rear. its raked a bit, in the rolling shots you can see what i mean.

but there is still so much room to go lower.

no. wheels are offset enough that spacers are not necessary at all.
