Some body roll.

but can someone confirm that they will work with the SPC toe bolts? i can't really see how it would still fit.

what sways to you have? stillen or hotckis?? i have the hotckis on mine and they are set to med/med.
do you have coilovers or springs? what brand and rates are they?? i have tein basics
just tryin to get an idea of what you have so i can compare your results to what it would be like on my car
thanks

Running on Tein Basics.
My setting on the Basics right now are maybe 3 turns left on the bottom for the rear suspension. You can say I have it at almost the highest point on the coilovers for the rear.
I will try using a measuring tape and get you the info you need as far as height and lowest point in the car.
I had the rear with a 1 finger clearance from the top of the tire to the top of the wheel well. In my area I was fine but in NY when going up ramps into parking lots I would scrape so I raised it a bit more now its about 1 finger and 1/4. The front has a finger and a 1/2 clearance between the top of the wheel and the top of the wheel well.
I tried reaching you thru IM yesterday since you probably have more questions but you didn't respond back.
Hit me up on AIM and I will answer any other questions you have
Hey Glex, do you know the weight of the mid chassis brace??

I'm thinking now that the chassis is tighter I can with a more aggressive setting.
I'm going to try Med/Stiff on both since I notice a little bit of understeer.
I'm going to test it out a little more but I'm definitely thinking of a stiffer setting.
