Got it...you got enough thread you don't have anywhere to put it lol.... I guess it's maxed out lol .... Give it a couple weeks go oem, slam it down for a couple more weeks then go back to true ... Best of both worlds... I appreciate the pics really clears up how these are set up on the car in true configuration...

 

Weird that 3 of us have sounds on the right side rear with these pirates tho

 

Update: I've gotten the camber figure out. Since I did not replace the rear camber arms, my configuration from two months ago remained in place (-0.5% camber). I got that fixed today on the alignment rack. I'll post the pic of the alignment specs when I get home from work. But I am at -3 degrees now and semi-tucking.

Good point on the spring being on the wrong way. I'll investigate this weekend. It also might be the cause of the sound. I am not hitting the fender, so that is not the cause of the sound. Everything seems to be pretty tight when I looked it while it was on the lift. I did email the seller on ebay about the sound. I wanted to see if he had similar inquiries.

 

I knew someone would bring up removing a collar for us to go lower on true setup was just waiting for it..lo l not being rude just knew it would come..but yes removing collars on mdus don't have any benefits..

And yea my right rear sound is exactly the same..sounds like a constant rattle clunk over every road imperfection..but on smooth roads nothing..

And lox I agree with g35buzz..lower than sedan more and camber and your looking good then..

 

Well good to hear lox..post a pic when u can with it adjustment! But personally I would lowered it more and then adjusted as necessary =)

 

Well, not that I got the camber out of the way, I might go lower. I still need to get in there and adjust the dampering level and flip the springs. I do live in WI which doesn't offer best roads

Anyone know how these might react to snow/salt/sand?

 

not sure about weather since some of us havnt had them long or do we live in bad weather related areas but we shall see..

go like another inch for daily driving =] it wont hurt..much..doet!

 

It looks like the springs settled and now it sits another 0.5 inch lower than in the pics...I'll load some more pics but not going lower at this time. I gotta figure out where that noise is coming from as it really pisses me off.

 

I had a rattle on the drivers side, now it's just a fluid rushing sound momentarily when I hit larger dips.

Have you pulled the shock out and retorqued the top nut yet? I had that rattle until I tightened that nut. I got a good 1/2 - 3/4 of a turn out of the nut. It was tight to begin with, but now it's tighter.

 

Good to hear. I look forward to seeing what you hear back from the seller.

 

Here are my before and after alignment specs:

 

^Say goodbye to your rear tires.

yeah i tried that last time it was mentioned but couldnt seem to tighten it any more than it was due to the shaft turning with it...but seems tight..


and yes goodbye to your rear tires..as well as mine too haha

 

Woah, I would take it back and get that rear TOE in spec.

 

I just thought of something.... does anyone else find it ironic how crooked the scan is of an "alignment sheet"???
