    Seems like i have corrected all the issues with my setup. The problems werent associated with the camber plates or the coilover kits, my spacer for the shortend housings wasnt big enough basically.
    Now the car rides great with the camber plates and the GE coils, would definitely recommend.

        I've just been doing some searching, thought this thread would have the quickest response, for those of you that section the housing, what are you using to slip on and weld as a perch?

            Glad you resolve your issue. But, what is "shortend housings" and how exactly did you resolve this issue?

            Thanks

                So you will never make again these in the original sizing? What is pricing like on the blackline?

                  Probably not. 5" springs would work better for those without camber plates. People with sectioned strut tubes can run 7" springs. The 6" springs are perfect for ix, e28, and e36 setups.

                    Just curious, does groundcontrol use 5 or 6" springs?

                          Also, just browsing the HyperCo catalog, they have far more 2.25" ID springs than 60mm. I assume this i because they are American though

                              The ones that were used with my top hats have been holding up okay. Other ones not so much.

                                I haz a sad...

                                I've had my coils and I.E. plates on for about a month now and they have been fine, but just today I started to notice popping and such while pulling in and out to park/parallel park as well.

                                I shall read through the last few pages as i know some other folks have been going through this problem.
