Time for a strut replacement - I have a DIY to follow, but looking for extra tips...

i think you will be happy. I am happy with mine, but I have nothing to compare them to other than my oem suspension. -1.5 in the front is no problem, and seems a good compromise for a street track car. with a bit of modification of the tool and some insulation trimming in the back there is no issue adjusting the shocks. I've got two full seasons on them with no issues or funny noises, including lots of potholed northern roads and 6 or 7 track days per.

I have read some complaints about them, but temper these with the ideas (a) early production run, and (b) folks not prepared for the compromise required with a stiffer track-oriented suspension. and it's hard to find an opinion from race folks as very few are running cars outside of spec where only pss9s are allowed. I do think that spring changes are no problem with these units, so you can tune them as your needs change. you can pay an extra $1k for pss9s, but not sure what that buys you?

Thanks for your feedback. I've got GT3 LCA in the front now and I have -2.25 camber, unsure what my top settings are but I guess I will see when I remove the current struts. My plan was to install the KSports, leave the camber plate setting in the middle, and hope that I can still keep my -2.25. I am at -1.6 in the back, and I do have adjustable toe links installed, but since I am not currently lowered I haven't had to really use them to get my desired toe (just a touch in, not sure of the measurement). I plan to drop the front 20mm and the back 10mm (ROW M030 heights) and see how that goes. What are your heights like?

my lowering was relatively substantial - 1.5" all around iirc - and I did start to feel some bump steer as a result - made much worse with new rear tires however - fixed with some adjustable front toe links.

and I pulled my alignment info and reread - rear shock top mounts are three settings and I am getting -1.5 in the middle setting with adjustable rear toe links. front top mounts are slotted and I am getting -2.25 with standard control arms. with gt3 lcas the sky should be the limit for you.

and here is what that looks like with 235/40 R18 on 8.5" ET 53 and 265/35 R18 on 10" ET 40 wheels. getting passed by a cup car.

I know that I am doing this for performance reasons and not looks. But that looks good. Bonus!

and if the painter tape numbers are too ghetto, here is the improved magnagrafik magnetic number version ...



in this pic you can see that there is still some space in the front (easily 1/2" / 15 mm) so was thinking of moving to a 245 in the front with a 7 mm spacer.

thanks; OZ really nailed it with those wheels - light, cheap, and great fit.
