          yup, they are them. seems to be workin out for me so far. only issue i have with then is that im going to have to cut out a notch on the top of my strut tower so that i can utilize the full range of adjustment..no big deal though.

            yea, thats the only problem I had with my vorshlag/MF camber plates. still haven't done it yet. the build quality of those things are insane. top notch, unbeatable.

              so lemme get this straight, for your strut tube, you basically cut the stock perch off, and welded the replacement perch in its place? no cutting of the strut tube at all?

                yes. cutting of the strut tube itself is optional, but not necessary. Jason has included all parts needed to install WITHOUT cutting the tube itself...

                  so just cut off the old perch, prep the surface for welding, and weld the new perch + endlink tabs on?

                    Yes, that's all you have to do.

                      Not so sure about that, at least in my experience. Metal on metal.

                      I'd recommend taking it apart and getting a bumpstop in there.

                          What rates do you have now?

                          In my experience, to keep the ride height where you're at 375lb/in is a good minimum to keep the car off the bumpstops.

                            sweet... i just overcomplicated the install in my head. i was ready to pay someone to do that shit for me (although... if anyone in the area is willing to install my coilovers for free beer and a few benjamins, holla at me).
