Then from the bottom side after removing the under tray there will be a tensioner pulley on left side and one on right. should be 12mm bolt...crank that to your left to loosen it and pull off the belts. swap belts...then go ahead and crank it back up to where its semi-tight...tighten down the front idler pulley 14mm bolts then back underneath to put tension back onto the belts.

Installed new Kinetix front camber a-arms and raised suspension up a little so it's more for go than for show.

My suspension was bottoming out at the autocross not doing me any good so I decided it was time to go less low! Now I know that 1/2" shock adjustment does not equate to 1/2" raise or lower overall ... this should be fun to get all 4 corners at the same height!

Sounds like some corner balancing and stiffer suspension are in your future

handling > speed

but a good combination of both is amazing.

theres no feeling like a stiff suspension that confidently gets you around corners others wither away from!

I like how it's painted your car's color, but the lights are still white, so it's still legal.. Man you're a beast w/ ingenuity.. Good work as usual man..
