. Do you know if the End links are necessary? Not sure if I should get them.

It depends on how low you end up going, I got them just to be safe. I'm looking into the rears as well, but it doesn't seem to be as big of a deal as the fronts.

I want to lower my car as well, but I have came upon some very unwanted and expensive bills recently.

Thanks!

I also just picked up a used Perrin catback last night. The muffler delete was jut a little too droney for daily driving.

Horray! Install day went swimmingly. Brakes/coilovers/LCA's only took about 2 hours with 3 people, and adjusting/fine tuning was about another 2 hours.

Tein Flex Z
Whiteline front end links
SPC LCA (painted neon yellow just because)
StopTech Street Perfoemance pads

Alignment is Thursday, Thinking about doing a -2.0*/-1.5* for a F/R camber setting with zero toe. Thoughts? Mostly daily driving, autocross once or twice a month as well.

I'll update with exterior shots when I can get them off my camera later.

BigTuna · 04-11-2017, 08:22 AM

As promised.

BigTuna · 04-24-2017, 10:11 AM

Horray! first AutoX of the season.

BigTuna · 05-09-2017, 12:58 PM

Fun things!

Installed the TRD quick shift kit. I do like it, the notchy-ness is going to take some getting used to, but I like the feel.

Also made the switch to E85! I'm only about 10 miles in, so I haven't gotten on it too hard yet, maybe after work today

Obligatory AutoX pics:

Yes..that's an El Camino.

Looks great @BigTuna

BigTuna · 06-05-2017, 02:20 PM

So I recently bought a camera, and I'm learning how to use it

What alignment settings did you end up settling with? I'm currently torn between the SPC LCAs or investing in something else that provides more camber. I pretty much daily my car too huehue

I ended up right at the -2/-1.5 and I liked it a lot. I had another alignment yesterday and went -2.5 up front to try it out. Haven't had time to test it though.
