lowered on swift springs. funny you should mention the stock bolts as we had trouble with those too. i called one of my roommates he checked on the camber and i was off.. its -1.5 the only time i have any rub at all is at full lock on slow turns (ie parking) but thats really no big deal.

Oh awesome, that leaves me some room then...From what I recall, Swift springs are the lowest lowering springs...I actually am going to be running Works Ohlins Stage III DFVs, in an effort to build a worthy, well-prepared STU car...Got a great deal on the setup that I couldn't pass up...I was actually worried that this setup should rub with my huge spacer...But, I guess I don't have much to worry about if you only rub at full-lock with minimal negative camber...Fender clearace is going to be tight, I'll try and prepare to look gangster in 6 months or so...All in all, I think I made a good choice (definitely pleased I didn't go with 5Zigen)...

You got a great deal on the Works stage III Ohlins DFVs or do you mean a great deal on the rims? I am interested in the former so please do share.

Well, actually I got a great deal on both...The Ohlins were purchased here, through EvoM, a member had an unfortunate situation in which he had to get rid of his car and his parts quickly...I jumped on the deal and purchased the Ohlins with 200 miles used for $2500...These were custom valved with spring-rates of 10k front and 12k rear...The wheels were also affordable at just above $1000 shipped through KingKyle, a vendor on the forums...You do have to run an 18mm spacer to clear the brakes, but I couldn't find one in that size so I went with a 25mm...Luckily it worked out, but read my writeup, if you have any questions feel free to send me a PM...

Thanks Aubrey, I really just bought a light-weight wheel to use for tracking when the time comes...Tell you what though, they look a whole hell of a lot better than those 5Zigens in my opinion...I will definitely go 18" once lowered though, they do look sorta tiny =[...

Yep, sure do...That's why I am riding on these daily...I have r-compounds on my OEM wheels, read my write-up to see why I did it...It was an easy way to plan for the future, being able to utilize what I already have...
