      Yeah buddy, cant wait for these to show up. Now just let us know when the camber plates are ready.. I'd like to assemble all the suspension at once if possible.
      Thanks for all your hard work bringing more e30 products to the market!!

        I hate to be the bearer of bad new but i figure i'd give you guys the news up front rather then being surprised when you install your kits. It some how slipped my mind that every kit i've installed also had camber plates. This is crucial because the camber plated have about a 1" shorter stack height compared to stock strut mounts. What does this mean? My current front spring won't just slip on if you want to be "Stanced". The height is pretty similar to h&r sports when they are at the lowest setting. You could theoretically get another half inch by flipping the sleeves but its not something i'd recommend. If your okay with not being slammed please let me know and i will ship out your set. If being stanced is a must and your not able or willing to modify your spring perch i can order 4" 450lb springs that will take a week to arrive from hypercoil. Another possible option would be that i sell the race camber plates at cost but i don't think that will be stanced enough for some of you.



        Here is a picture for reference. Customer has 205/40/17s. May settle since they were just installed but i would not count on more then a quarter inch. This customer will weld on a new perch 1" lower.

            So either order different springs or camber plates are a must have to go low? Is that right?
            I was planning on picking up camber plates anyway so I should be fine right?

              I'm fine with the setup the way it is. How much would the race camber plates be?

                If you've followed this thread, you guys have seen my car on the race plates and flipped sleeve. I can tuck a 16" 45 profile tire without much effort.

                          The manufacurer seems to drag their feet on everything. I can order the springs Monday morning and have them by Friday. I really don't want to have this group buy dragged out for another couple of months. Once I rebound from my losses I'll look in to camber plates.

                            If you want them as is I can take them to the airport post office in the morning. I have over 40 kits all boxed up taking up space.
