looks great Bryan. It rode so much better than I thought. Actually I almost think that the hr system has better matched shocks and spring rates compared to stock.

Looks good, have you had it out to the twisties up north of your house?

No odd noises, creaks, groans?

What did you set you camber front and rear with these coils, agressive street or track setup.

I'm getting an alignment tomorrow, going to stick with a street friendly set-up. Front camber is fixed 1.25(?).
No creaks, groans, or rubbing!

Front - 1.25 good. Are you running 215x45x17?

Looks great, it would be interesting to see on HPR.
