Lol please take pics? I'm gonna be kinda bummed if they have an adjustable camber plate and I didn't get it...

What if I don't take a photo because it is super top secret for my eyes only? rofl waffle

Like I said, waiting pics of the plates post alignment... :)

"Aggressive Street" is going to be the specs. Just looking at the front it appears I am out somewhere near -3 camber in the front. It is quite a bit. It looks like there is a little room for caster adjust but it honestly looks pretty good right now eyeballing it.

Camber I can bring it back in from being so damn extreme roflmao

Looking forward to camber plate pics post alignment... What are you getting the specs set to? I can't adjust my plates with them on the car and I'm at -2.3* in the front...

[dinanm3atl]

That's some purdy shit.

i want!!!

Thanks guys!

Did they redesign the camber plates again? I don't think those look like the ones I have

Possibly. I got the 'hybrid' as an upgrade since it will see a lot of street driving.




So..... Big Brake kit is not finished. I want to drive. So I decided to get the wifey to help me bleed the OEM brakes and reinstalled them all. Along with the Ground Controls. I got it pretty close on the first try. Might bring the back down a touch. The front a little. Should be good. Was a fun drive in the rain...


Loaded up the supplies to get local shop to torque/install them. Lack that size socket and wanted them full torqued.


Doneski!


Extra supplies...




Rear Setup is delicious!









Front is even better! Love the housings!





And an absolutely TERRIBLE photo... after I had a very fun ride in the rain...






What is on tap? Porter Cable/Detail. Further Cleaning. And Big Brake Kit. And drive this thing! Alignment tomorrow AM.

Lachssilber. I think it is 203...



50% of the final puzzle pieces JUST arrived! Just waiting on UUC and this thing will be DONE. For now!


















And.... lunchtime I get these on there and we are inching closer!

[jefffribourg]

whats the body color? do you have the paint code by chance?

[dinanm3atl]

It did work. It HAS to be CLEAN. VERY clean to work. So use the cleaner that comes with it. Maybe even alcohol before the cleaner in the kit. I decided against using it completely as my trim pieces were sun baked and starting to pit. With the adhesion promoter and a couple coats of SEM Trim it has mostly hidden that.

FWIW I've not had good luck with Forever Black.

[dinanm3atl]

There is no 'ridge' like a rubber boot. It will go down and it stays all by itself. Once you put the spindle on it will be applying pressure down and all set!

SEM Trim. Turned out quite nice. I want to pull the door trim as well but might try forever black on it.

[TrentW]

Are there clips that hold the urethane boots on, or what seals them?

Duplicolor Trim Paint on the bumper pieces? Turned out nice.
