Hi there

We are run GC8(classic) alloy arms and we run coilovers,with coilovers we can't get above at front above -1.5',due this we are run camber bolts at front and rear,at rear with coilovers we can go above -2.00 easily without the camber bolts


Thanks,Jura

I don't know if I want to be buying the saggy butt spacers really as you aren't actually addressing the issue of the rear struts being more compressed at rest than they should be.
Hi Jay

Springs are same on wagon or saloon/sedan,I've seen only few wagon specific springs over in US,but those cost money

Thanks,Jura

Just out of interest, ZX-TT, did you put the camber bolts in the top or bottom hole on the rear, and did you find your wheels rubber the arches at all?

Problem is, I am running STI wheels so mine might. I'm afraid of putting it on the car and finding that this is the case....

Hi Mate

Camber bolt in the top holes, My arches have been rolled so I havent had any issues however now I am running very wide wheels I have had to raise the car on the rear slightly just to fit the wheels
