Going to buy the SPL rear camber arms so I can put on my springs. I cant decide if I want to wait and buy the SPL rear mid links so I can adjust the ride height instead of doing the spring mod trick.

I am doing it for piece of mind more than anything. Everything I read mentioned the rear camber arms to dial in the rear camber after the drop so you don't go through your tires so fast.

I would save your money and only buy rear camber arms if you cant get camber where you want with the stock arms. I recently installed PSS10 springs/shocks and maxed out the negative camber in the rear with stock arms at -2. That means if I wanted more positive camber I could easily add it back.

My current ride height is as low as I can go before I start scraping getting into my driveway.

I did buy front SPL arms since I wanted adjustable camber/caster which the factory doesn't provide.

Just might be installing my springs this weekend now. I still need spacers though which I could pickup locally.

I tried installing my new NRG hood dampers tonight and the hood will close fine, but when I try to open the hood it starts to hit my fenders at the corner and makes a POP noise and is starting to chip away at the paint already. I am just not going to open it until I know what to do to fix this lol.

I also noticed that the hood is a little off center and thats why it is rubbing so bad on one particular side. I have bent the joint toward the front of the car at a pretty good angle as well.

If anyone has any suggestions please send them my way. Im worried the chipping of the paint is going to get really bad if I keep opening and closing the hood so I might just take the thing over to Stephen and have him fix it in one go... Thanks for any help guys

don't bend!!!!! (eek)

Best idea is to simply loosen the bolts where the hood bolts to the hinges and just adjust that way. You'd be surprised how much play there is when just loosening those bolts and then tightening them back up. When I installed my CF hood a long time ago I spent almost 45 mins adjusting that damn thing. Body panels suck to line up!
