No camber correction, no alignment correction.....just installed Neuspeed Sports over stock shocks and had a great time for the past 40,000 miles.

Would suggest additional items as Strut braces and Sway bars.

spade,
your ride isn't bouncy at all with stock shocks and the sport springs?

Nope....firm......but not very firm since it is a light suspension......

EDIT: I will give someone in my area a ride and get there opinions......

i have sports sitting in my closet, waiting for some koni's. it may be awhile until i have the cash for the yellows. maybe i'll just put the sports on while i wait for finances to afford the struts...
