[QUOTE="noldevin, post: 15713089, member: 166003"] The sportlines should give you a nice drop and even out the rake. The progressive rear springs will ride nice but should keep you off the bump stops. 1. Lose the camber bolts, you can get the car within spec by rotating the gt500 mounts 180 degrees (I am at -1.2 degrees of camber with a 1.5" drop in front after doing this. The sportlines lower 1.3" in front so you should have a bit less camber than me. This is perfectly fine for street use, will help a tiny bit in cornering, and won't cause any extra tire wear. Camber bolts can slip or break and are dangerous.) If you are still worried about camber, camber plates are the better and safer solution. 2. You don't [I]need [/I]Koni Yellows, but it is a good idea to upgrade your shocks and struts when lowering. Instead of Konis, I'd recommend the shortened Bilsteins as they are higher quality and better designed for a lowered car. That being said, many people are happy with the oranges. 3. Eibach's dampers aren't the best, but they are probably set up to work decently with their springs. I'd still go for Bilsteins over either. And that is coming from a Koni Yellow owner, if I could trade them for Bilstein I would in a hearbeat. 4. Non adjustable LCA's are fine but you will want an adjustable UCA and mount to keep your pinion angle in check. [/QUOTE]
