            yup. notice the dots on the bolt heads ...... who'd need that? ;)

            and the subframe is low because Im installing the trailing arms. It's all back together now..... doing brakes now.

              i need to do mine.... i have had the new bushings rolling around in the passagerside map pocket for the past 6 months.... well i haven't been driving it... but that is beside the point...

              i am planning on putting them in when i sell my audi, along wtih some new exhaust..... and my front rotors are jacked up.... so ima get new power discs and paint my calipers .... all the good stuff!!!

              what brand are the bushings... (i got the k-mac's)

                  yep. I have little to no camber now in the back. and here is a nice pose:

                    Little to no camber?! 300/475 rates?!?!

                    Dude, you will have serious oversteer issues. Even with non-adjusted camber, those rates, and the same tires you're mounting, I had varying rear-end rotation situations, ranging from happy-line-tightening all the way up to holy-shit-I'm-steering-out-the-window slides. At the auto-x, runs were continuous slides once I built up any sort of g-force.

                    Be sure you take it easy at first, and learn the new behaviour.

                      I already have serious oversteer issues. I think because my Konis are somewhere in the middle in the back.....and close to full soft in front. They need to be full stiff in front......and maybe take down the rear to decrease oversteer even more. (think that is right according to the chart)

                      There is that E30 M3 club racer locally that can take my car for a drive and tell me how balanced it is......then adjust until I get it good.

                        Yeah, backing off on the rear rebound and upping the front will help somewhat. Camber and our seriously staggered spring rates are much more influencial though.

                        I'd rather have an understeering car as I learn. Of course I didn't have that last year, but it surely would have been safer.
