My rear camber arms are being the biggest b**** right now... I cant get under teh car to unleash massive amounts of torque on the nut because the garage floor is soaked with water from the snow today.

Don't you love working on cars in the winter? With all the water and salt and everything dripping on you the whole time while under the car. It's great.

Super Street(My subscription just ran out)
Honda Tuning
Import Tuner

ORIGINAL: Vipers4Life

No, it was one of those cheap, folding ones and it just wouldnt stay flat anymore....


The adjustable rear control arms are now in....

Anyone know if SPC and Eibach are the same company? I bought the "Eibach" camber kit from TAS Auto, it came in an "Eibach" box, yet the arms say SPC on them lol... oh well. I like the SPC ones anyways.

Also, raised the spring perches up to their original level in the middle, they were 10mm lower than original. Ride sits about right now, but I'm a little worried about rubbing when the camber is changed... I keep an eye on the height this week and if it's still not high enough I can just compress the spring while its in the car and raise the perches, I can't believe how easy it is. Almost like coilovers, but less adjustability.
