Looks great. I'm interested in the corner balancing specs. What weight did they come up with at each wheel and did they adjust hem for you? Also, how much was it? Again, looks awesome.

Up fronta about 950 per wheel
The rear is like 600 something but thems the ratios...
You do NOT need camber plates. This is a street setup, I run 1.7 Camber up front, perfect for the street and about as agressive as you wana go.
Track?
Get camber plates to get past -2.0. As fasr as the street is concerned, these are perfect.

Can't be beat for the price.
Gona do something, do it right
I also got me a Hotchkins Rear Sway Bar. It was WAY, WAY lighter then the stocker, I could not believe it. The Hotchkins is Hollow.
And here are the consequences of my actions. A properly lowered Evo. I also had it aligned perfectly and had it corner balanced today.
You DO NOT wana go any lower, believe me.
Now for the pimpness that is my trunk.

I think that they are starting to clunk, the rears. It is not bad, only when I start out slow, like a slight creaking very similar to that of an oil can you squeez, you know those old metal dealies. Sounds JUST LIKE the oil can scean in "The Wizard of Oz". Identical to that. At speed it does not anymore.
Handling, amazing, I don't realize it but my car is superman now, it is allowing me to do things I would NEVER attempt. I MAY raise the front a half inch, IDK yet.

Honestly it is not even a clunk, I thing it has to do with my strut bar, it is just stressing, it doesn't even sound like it is comming from the Coilovers. Just when I start the car and get moving and slow speeds and unever transitions (like a driveway) you hear stress sounds and movements.
