thats a nice setup.

One question though. Do you have to adjust camber everytime you lower/raise the car with coilovers?

Always wondered...

yes!!! it's sooo fuckign squeaky. at first it wasn't. now whenever i shift... or start form 1st... you can hear it. or SOMETHING is making a "tap" sound. i am going to find out what it is tomorrow. if its squeaking i'm going to try some grease or silicone.

Yea, you're supposed to grease it up real good before installing. I've heard people hearing squeaks and stuff when they don't lube it enough. I need to see your *** at MGL, SVGL, or CVGL someday. :D

I thought my car was the only one making skeaky noises from the camber kit. How do I get rid of it after it's been installed.???

yeah and you can get custom spring rates, and the setup looks alot cleaner since the Koni spring perch isn't used, etc.

And yes you need an alignment ANY time the ride height is changed. It's not so much because of the camber, but the toe-in needs to be adjusted back to stock. I have mucho negatve camber but toe is within stock specs and I have ZERO uneven tire wear.
