Raised my car today.
I finally got around to raising the perches on my Koni/Neuspeed Sport setup. Read my other post HERE for the background. My tire still rubs at full lock to the right on the drivers side. I found out it's not plastic, but the actual body that it rubs on. Albeit, it's not as severe as before, I'm not comfortable with it. I guess I'll live with it though cause it's not hurting anything. On the bright side, my car rides fantastic now. I'm not bouncing around anymore and the negative camber is so far gone I won't need to use my Skunk2 kit now. The ride with just the drop of the springs has given me an almost stock feel while still handling nicely. It almost feels more stable and willing to take turns more easily. When taking my favorite high speed turn today, I actually went faster than when the car was lower. I guess lower is not always better huh? I'll see what happens at this weeks auto-x to determine how much better it performes. I also think I need to play with the stiffness of the shocks to see if it can get even better.

Right lower is not always better especially when you run out of shock travel.

Quick question, how do you add negative camber to the rear? I've seen your site with your setup and was just wondering. Also do you like the Azenis with those Koseis? I'm thinking of selling my stereo stuff to buy a set. I'm not auto-x crazy, I just like to go out once a month and dodge some cones.

Actually Azenis with any wheel is good
