Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I'm in the market for some full coilovers and some camber correction. I think I'd like to spend $800-1000 on the coilovers. It's just my daily sedan so ride quality is more of a priority than trackability. Drop some knowledge, EF discussers.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Only other input I can give is on my Pops car. He runs the Skunk2 street coilover system and it's pretty darn nice. The price is excellent too, $650 IIRC. But in my FIRM belief, all of the blox, skunk, omni, etc. type coilovers are all decent set-ups for the street. As long as you get the "street" rated springs. Anything over 8k on a street car is going to be pretty stiff.
As for camber...why are you looking to "correct" your camber? Is it too much right now? Too little? I actually run nothing up front because at the height my front end is, I sit at a perfect -3 on both sides. It works out great! I use MFactory upper control arms in the rear to dial it in to -2.8

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
i second nick's opinion. regular konis/GCs are great. TONS of used stuff out there too. last setup you'd buy too.
i wouldnt correct the camber. just get a good alignment (with your weight in the driver's seat if possible), and you wont have tire wear issues. toe kills tires about 1000% faster than camber.
i ran TONS of camber on my car when i daily drove it to college. good alignment, cheap tires, and 30,000 miles, and almost NO noticeable wear on the insides.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I forgot about Koni/GC. I need to look into it. What rates do you recommend for decent comfort on the street (gotta haul two small children occasionally) and spirited cornering from time to time? I should know these things, but I don't pay much attention to anything until it's time to shop.

I'm good as far as toe, camber isn't too bad. The front driver side caster is waaayyy off, though. Something is obviously bent so I'm going to source a wrecked or broken EF to part out.
Check it out, caster is visibly off...
