> Sounds and looking good Patrick :R Yes, the higher grade bolts are a must for the adjustable control arms. Have you made a few checks of the front adjustable control arms to make sure they’re not making any contact with the control arm mount? Like Hanzzz mentioned before, don’t want to ride too much with severe negative camber else the insides of the tires will get smoked. Next stop - an alignment shop to get everything squared away.

There’s no contact on the upper control mounts. I put the upper bulkheads on the control arms in the proper direction on both sides so I’m good.

Here I am now

- Adjustable Coilovers
- Adjustable Upper Control Arms
- Adjustable Oversized Tension Rods
- Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines
- 13" Big Brake Rotor Upgrade with aluminum hat (These brakes are half the weight of my stock brakes and cut my stopping distance in half)

I think that’s it with suspension now. All I have to worry about are pads… Or maybe even upgrading my rear rotors to drilled and slotted so it can match the front.

cool

pretty much the same setup I have for mine

except my front and rear control arms are AMS my tension rods are AMS

my coilovers are teins and buddyclubs for rears and fronts (had huge issues with Ksports on my other car and wouldnt deal with them again, hopefully for your sake you’re good for a little while, I was also not the only one with the very short lifespan of the ksports I found tonns of people with the smae issue 2 of the strut inserts on my ksports leaked after about 3 weeks then the other 2 went within a month or so of that)

but yeah then for brakes i just have the stock sized ebc cross drilled and slotted with green stuff pads brakes werent in need of going bigger they work awesome the way they are. Maybe after i kill these ones i’ll go bigger

My car is going away in 2 or 3 weeks so I’ll probably install my alignment parts and do my alignment before i park it.
