Topic: snackers 08 money pit - wrexin' it up

If that's true then more spring rate is needed to control body motion?

yea that's basically what i was trying to say but with not nearly as few words.

The 08 pinks are softer than the 09 stock springs.  I remember the guy you bought your suspension from showing almost identical pics on his car.

The RCE yellow springs are 320 lbs front and rear, and give about a 3/4" drop.  They would probably match up nicely with your Konis.

I have an 08, so even these pinks are an improvement over stock.
I could go to 09 stockers and improve even "more", but I'd lose the drop then.
Springs are pretty low on my priority list right now.
The pinks will have to do.

Especially since you will be going to coilovers so soon.

Camber bolts installed today.
Thanks to GrantC for helping. I wasn't really sure of the toe adjustments that would be required, so I used his brain.

For reference, the mudflap is pretty much at 0 camber according to the level that I used when I installed them 2 years ago.





So this is how she now sits. Measurements take on my crooked floor, so average the left and right readings.
Left front: -1.75*



Right front: -2.25*ish



Left rear: -1.33*



Right rear: -2.0*ish



Good 'nuff for me.

Hey Cam,
Would that work in my car? Can you bring it tomorrow? I am curious to see how much camber I have...

Yup. It'll be there for ya.
There needs to be a flat spot in the center of the wheel, but you can ghetto it by using a board. (or a toe plate )

For the benefit of everyone asking:

It's been fun.
When it becomes more of a chore than a game, it's time to move on.
