Wow, that looks really really good!
Don't even bother getting that "corrected". The stance is amazing!

Had the same issue with my GC plates, the problem is the spring binding on the upper spring hat. I took mine apart a million times trying to figure out the source of the noise and to make sure I assembled the strut and camber plate correctly. I eventually found marks on the upper hat where the spring had been spinning against the aluminum and making that popping noise. Those needle bearings in there just need some time to loosen up a bit, my noise went away after a few months. Lithium grease works well to, I usually just spray the camber plate down every now and then. Hope that helps. Car looks sick!!!!!!!!!!

I don't remember seeing any type of bearing on the hat? I had a pair of hats with the camber plates and then another pair I got with the coilovers, I used the ones with the camber plates. I'll look into it some more.

Can you post a rear shot, so I can see what -2.5* camber looks like?

I'll snap a pic later today.

I actually have a popping sound coming from my right side when I'm turning right in a parking lot and slow speeds (under 3 mph) gotta check that out.

-2.5* isn't that bad.
How does it handle?

Not sure if it is, no way I can adjust it unless I get the IE kit. That's later on down the road.

Thanks for the comps.

Loving it man! It awesome to keep seeing people bring these cars back to life. Well executed, good job.

No camber correction, if I remember, I think I have -2.5* in the back. Eventually when I swap out the TAB's, I'll probably get the IE rear camber kit.

The skid plate would always scrape on everything. I was coming up on a red light and there was a pitch in the middle of the road that push the skid plate into my oil pan and cracked it.
Keep in mind my plate was made out of 1/4 inch steel.
If I didnt have that plate I would have never broke my pan.
Since then I havent drivin with one since and I have never had a problem..

Oh shit.
That makes me think twice about getting one now..

explain please?

The tires are 205/55/15's which I was tucking up front, I also tuck stock 195/65/14's up front too.

Don't have any good pictures to show up front, but here is a rear shot.
