So, managed to measure my cut stock endlinks pieces and they where 250mm. When I mounted the whitelines I first set them in the shortest mode which is 195mm. Since I,m lowered about an inch I extended the endlinks to 225mm and took the car for a testdrive and at first it seemed like the clunk was gone but after a few miles it slowly got back. When I finally got home it even seemed to rattle a little which bugs the hell out of me since I torqued everything in the front suspension down to spec and re-checked everything to be sure. Even checked the underbody panels to make sure they where bolted down properly. Endlinks also clears the LCA so I,m really stuck in here. Any suggestions what's causing the clunk?

After I lowered the car the rear toe got waaay out of spec so before i send it to alignment I put an order on a pair of whiteline adjustable toe arms. Thought i could use the toe bushings included with the SPC LCA but they seemed like a bitch to install and the adjustability is quite limited.
Really impressed by FT86speedfactory. Put an order on the mail monday night and got them today by lunch time

Decided to completely re-install the endlinks and made sure everything is tight so now the clunk seems to be gone. Also installed the whiteline toe arms. Pretty straight forward installation without any hassle
 Sent the car to an alignment today and going to pick it up tomorrow. Can't wait to see how the car feels now when everything is dialed in! |

Picked up the car from the alignment a couple of days ago. Really love the way it handles now. So precise and tight on the road but without taking any comfort away. The KW's was well spent money indeed! Ended up with about -1.5 degrees of camber in the front and -2.2 in the rear. Might take some more of in the rear as long as it clears the fenders and maybe add a little more in the front but it will do for now. Got a rainy week here in sweden so haven't had the opportunity to take it out for some spirited driving yet. As soon as the weather allow i will take it to my favourite road for some serious testing.
Also found my old car on Facebook while the new owner is doing some tracking. Have to say it look damn good on the track! Kind of make me miss it a little...
