from the looks of it-GC camber plates should drop you another .5" without losing shock travel if you need it, because the stock upper strut bearing is recessed and on the camber plate it isn't, correct?

the old perch comes out easilty???
And one this i dont undersatdn if im gonna take the old perch out and weld the new one at the same exact spot, why exactly am i doing this?????Comment

The old perch doesnt come off, it has to be cut off. With the stock perch, the spring sits up about an inch higher that the weld. When the GC perch is welded on, the spring will sit right above the weld.Comment

Didn't your GC come with instructions? Are you the one doing the welding? Simply refer to the pictures you have seen and show them to the welder if you don't have the diagram that came with them.Originally posted by AndreNY
You are doing this because you want to be able to go as low as you want .... it's optional...if you don't want to do it now you can always do it later...

Think about if you were to simply drop the GC collar into the 'cupped' spring perch. There's no way in hell you could set it as low as possible. That is why it needs to be removed.

What spring rates are you running? Those will affect the ride height also, the stiffer the spring, the higher the car will sit. I'm using 350/450 and the car sits plenty low, although it's a tad too soft.
I originally wasn't happy with how my GCs sat for the first couple weeks either, but it seemed to lower a little, the springs just need to get used to being compressed.
btw, your car looks awesome now, although I don't like driving on stretched sidewalls, they do have a strangely appealing look to them. It was probably living in Germany that gave me that preferenceComment
