    I would definitely put some softer springs in the back! Something along the lines of 550-600.

      I think the adjusters are about 3" tall.

        This is mostly a track car. Daily comfort is not an issue. Check out my camber plates

          You are going to want to remove the 3 screws holding the bearing block to the plate and rotate the bearing block 180 to get you some neg camber dialed in there

              What rate springs do you have?..

              I dont know who else sells them...the koni sa's that is...besides GC
              I thought they were only selling them to customers who ordered complete kits including sectioned housings done by them.

                THANKS! I had a feeling that they were installed wrong, but didnt find any instructions online to check. Here is what I changed them to





                Unfortunately whoever installed them, managed to strip one hole on one plate and snap off a bolt in another! I will have to remove them completely and fix that at a later time. Right now, I left it at ~ -1.5

                  Looks better, it was not necessarily wrong but not right for neg camber and for a track car that's what you will want.

                    could be...but I bought mine a few yrs back just by themselves.

                      I just got a complete kit with their Konis but without their housings.
