i went soft, 350/425. I may swap out springs later after i get a few miles on them. I actually haven't even driven the car, it's still up on the jackstands. as long as i had it up there i was gonna change the fluids in the diff/tc and bleed the brakes. hopefully i well get that done this weekend, and get a chance to drive it. not sure what alignments specs yet. probably neg 1.5 camber in the front, -1.0 in the rear, and min amount of toe-in in the front. what are you planning on doing?

I'm doing neg 2.5 or more camber in the front... neg 1-1.5 rear, minimal toe. I want some real agressive camber for autoX and a track day in GA im doing next sunday. Ill adjust the camber myself when im not doing track days. I drove the Forcefed Evo with there Ohlins setup last week and i loved the real heavy spring feel. I should be happy with it...

I made an appoitment with Rpmracing for Friday.
Is there anybody in particular that does the job well and I should be asking for?

Euro tire was booked till next week and I need my alignment done before Limerock on Tuesday.
Kidbanga10 I hope you recomended good shop

On my stock suspension I will do

Front
I will go with max negative camber (-1.5) and 0 toe

Rear
-0.8 camber and I am thinking a little positive toe = +0.03 - to give it a little oversteeer

What do you think?

Wow. I live in Huntington and I had no idea that this shop did race quality alignments. They seem like a very proffesional operatation.

Evoquick. Where are you coming from. Please let us know if you are happy with the work.
