ahahah... yeah, when you see a pothole you just give it full throttle... no worries..
this is actually a full on GrN Sachs 4way racing suspension on some hybrid gravel/rough tarmac setup.. this amount of droop is with stock ride height.. the only issue is that the damper body is so huge, that the spring is oversized and is not really compatible with really large wheels.. AST5300 on the left for comparison..
Thing is, even with soft springs the car is really good to drive, doesn't roll on short corners and it handles BIG air too.. .. Proper rally stuff..
just wrapped my 14hr excusion to get the car and bring it home. leak was a clamp on the upper rad hose that was slightly loose. he pressurized and shook hoses to expose the leak, which is i guess similar to what happens in driving.
-3.6 degrees of camber in the rear, with 1/16" of toe in. That ought to really stabilize the rear end for me. achievable thanks to @ayoustin 's camber locks really cranking out that camber, plus @Dallas J 's rear uprights making toe adjustment fully independent.
i'm exhausted but the car's safely back in the garage and ready to get dialed in at the next event.

-3.25 to -3.5 is honestly an fine range with the billet uprights. One of the trade offs is you lose the steep camber gain for closer to linear camber rate. I tried -4.5/-3.5 and the front was too much but the rear really didnt have any issue at that range. Im backing my car down to -4.1 to 4.2 / -3.2 to 3.3
So one thing I haven't checked with the camber locks is if they actually allow for more camber than the factory eccentric. I never did a full sweep with the factory adjuster, just figured that it used the entire slot across its adjustment range but I'm beginning to think that may not be the case. Would just mean the locks allow for a greater range adjustment than the factory adjuster
These will be on the website with an install guide to make it easier to understand their function. Unfortunately I've had my hands full lately and have been focusing on Honda parts but I more Evo stuff is coming!
used this guy to adjust the camber down. obviously it's not accurate, car in the air, etc etc. but adjusted down the camber. from the shop it was -3.6 on driver's side, -3.8 on passenger's side. removed about a half degree on the driver and about 0.75 on the passenger's should be pretty darn close to -3 now.
new brake air guides to help make up for my lack of ducting. looks like i broke off the bottom flap of the driver's side at some point - passenger's side still had the lower flap:
