ok, took the car to get it aligned yesterday. i couldn't get the numbers i wanted with the top mount settings i used. for now, i'm going to recommend leaving them in their center positions like they came from KSport.

another note, the rear helper springs WILL fit and allow reasonable ride height without interfering with the wheels. i recommend using them.

still trying to find the 'right' street setup. the adjustment knobs DO have 'clicks'; there are 36 of them. i think running the front around 30 and the rear around 24 gives a reasonable street / performance ride.

i am having some issues with wierd bounciness on the street. i decided to run some calculations to figure out why. turns out i'm having some issues with harmonic amplitudes due to the combination of spring rates i chose. usually, this is a non-issue, but since our cars are rear weight biased, it becomes an issue. i will start another thread on suspension design and link to it here. i will post shock dyno plots and setup analysis in that thread.

my installation notes for the rear are complete; i have to break it into multiple parts since i'm limited as to the size of document i can post. i'll put it up in just a minute. i hope to have the write-up on the fronts done shortly.
