Thats what I need to do next. If you mean do I notice any excessive camber, I don't. The car isn't pulling to the left or right. Hopefully when I take it in for an alignment, I shouldn't have any problems.

Fox, any time you do anything to your suspension you need to get an alignment done. It's also likely the place won't get it right the first time. I would call around to the shops listed on DCEvoClub and see if they can do your alignment.

Is rennen showing them in stock? If they are not showing any, I would hold off on buying them.

I talked to them, they dont keep them in stock. It takes them 1 week to get them. I will have them in 2 (Cause I live in Canada). I'm just having problems using their pay-pal feature...possibly user error but i dont think so

I took care of it. The parts should be to me in 2 weeks. 1 week to get to rennen and 1 week to get to me. I also am finishing fabricating the rest of my exhaust (DP-Muffler), Finishing my custom intake, still looking for some cheap used 17's.

After having them installed for a week and a half with about 300 miles on them, I am happy with them. I am still messing around with the height adjustment, I can't seem to find the perfect setting for the front. Other than that no complaints. I still don't know how the compare to the Tein Basic, but they are a good buy.

I will be lowering about an inch and a half and getting the car balanced on scales allong with the alignment. I drive to hard to have an improperly balanced car and counting threads isnt good enough.

I have it lowered at about 1.75" all the way around and I might raise it about 1/4". I have found that my handy little plastic ruler comes in handy when adjusting. Plus I put a level on different places on the car to see if it is sitting level.(yes it is on level ground when I do this).
