It is sitting on stance coilovers right now. Although I am doing the height and alignment according to specs I have for optimal handling.

Do your coilovers have dampening adjustment or are they just height adjustable  
i suppose ever car is different but i was told to run a little more negative camber in the front than the rear. i ended up running -2.5 in the front and -1.75 in the rear, i dont have any pictures but the wheels would pretty much flatten out heading into a turn, and i would never rub my fender liners either. which is pretty much what you want

i miss my integra everyday ☹ 😢

Sadly with school and such I have not had time to work on it. I will be working on it Monday again and it should close to put together after that. Not sure if I was clear in my post but the swap is complete and it runs and drives already so we really do not have all that much work left at all.

Not all that great but its IRS so you cant ask for much. However they are pretty cheap so I plan to buy a few spares.

To be honest I originally bought this car just to make it totally rad then sell it and make $$$ and buy a 996TT. I still might. But I never planned to do this in depth of a restoration and make it this nice. I mean it now has a full new interior, all new suspension, all new paint, and low mile ls1. It kinda of makes me want to keep it. I will probably drive it some and throw it up for sale and if someone wants it at asking price I will sell it.
