And Yea, in previous cars I've found HPS to be an overpriced garbage pad that was stock equivalent if not worse. I'll swap something a bit better in at some point Honestly I doubt I'd change anything before first autocross back (whenever the heck that will be) but may try connecting rear bar should time allow between runs. |

It was surprisingly easy to put the DIFtech bushings in the SPC arms. Used HF press to get the bushings out, then used a bench vise to insert the DIFtech pieces.
Honestly, if I wasn't converting from SSC, I probably would have seen where the stock arms put my alignment. |

I have racer-x but my bushings weren't happy so I bought DIF bushings and had my buddy just build me some cups for them that thread into the racer-x arms.
Way more complicated solution haha. |

Local machine shop could probably do it for the same or less, but he knows the car stuff so it'd probably be right the first time. |

Yeah, that makes sense. I just went about it the other way.
Similar result. |

How do you get to -2 camber on the rear with stock lca?
Is it just from being lowered? |

A guy local to me is selling Tarmac 2s, I'm more than likely going to buy them. Does anyone have any experience with them? How hard is the rebound adjuster to reach while in grid, etc?
