So, I installed a set of Koni Sports and Eibach Sportlines last weekend. The drop is pretty aggressive (just under 2"), but it's going to the track, so I was looking for something pretty aggressive. My camber is just over -1 degree in the front, but is in the neighborhood of -3 degrees in the rear (I'm running the stock 18" wheels). Not bad for the track, but the tires aren't going to hold up for very long at that setting. I did find that the stock setting was sitting at just around -2 degrees, which seems pretty extreme for stock (unless the previous owner messed with it). I know that I can take some of the camber out using the eccentric bolts in the rear (camber and toe)...does anyone know how much I can gain just using the stock setup (and yes, I know I can only adjust the rear...front would require adjustable A-arm)? I'm just trying to get it back to around negative 1.5 or 2.

The ultimate would be to go fully adjustable, but I'll have to wait on that. Anyone have the Stillen setup? Is there a cheaper, but just as solid product out there (front and rear)?

Thanks

 

i would suggest cusco and/or kintex (sp?) there cheaper but i know there not as good (for track), but i think they would be fine for just fixing the camber. it does sound like maybe the previous owner messed with the rear camber, becasue -2 i think isn't stock. i think its suppose to be between -.5 and -1. i think... please post pics. i wanted to get this springs also. and HOws the Ride??? stiffer or softer then stock? bouncy?

 

if it was me going for track, i would've just kept the stock height,
ran swaybars and d-specs along with R compound tires.

 

Yeah thanks for the advice kenchan, but to each his own I guess. The stock springs are not terribly track worthy, and I would put the Koni's up against the d-specs anyday. I wanted the car dropped and wanted a stiffer spring (didn't want to just try to fix it with swaybars). If you like body roll, I suppose your suggestion would be the route you'd take...I on the other hand had enough body roll with my WRX. And yes, as you probably already know, the G does have, surprisingly enough, some substantial body roll.

As for the ride, it is bumpier than stock, but the Koni's are surprisingly smooth at the softest setting (feel a lot better than stock). Now, at the firmest setting the car can be a little unbareable but handles like a dream, but that will only be used for the track. Again, at the stiffest setting the car is very "bouncy", but at the softest setting the car is very comfortable. I just have to be on the lookout for potholes and or really nasty curbs.

Finally able to get a pic small enough.

 

i would really like to see that drop must look sick!!

 

to each his own.

 

cusco arms will not get you close to oem specs with that drop. i suggest 350evo, or kinetix/etc.

good choice on the Koni yellows. they kill all tocrappos.
