Post snow 07 changes

Replace Megans with Leda/Hypercoil, Incorporate new H-Sport camber plates, replace Powerflex front control arm bushing with stock bushing. Toyo RA1s move from 45mm offset TD wheels to BBS wheels with 38mm offset. The 15mm spacers up front may or may not work with this offset and 205/40/17s...

Webb Bar remains, 12.4 Willwoods remain, Four rear poly control links remain, Powerflex steering rack bushing remains.

I've given lots of thought to suggestions by others regarding the Megans...but in the end I'm more disturbed by the dampers than other 'things'...Eibach order is canceled.

Are you buying the Leda pieces from texaspeedworks? Can't wait to hear, or see (when are you going to LRP?) how this all works out for you.

sounds like a nice setup Meb. What BBS? RG-F's?

I'm doing Koni Sport's, Dinan springs, IE adj camber plates, H-sport rear camber links, new Volk TE37 TA's with 225/45/16 Ventus RS2's and a 19mm H-sport bar. Everything is either in the garage, or on the way. I've got the H-sport front sway too, but I'm not sure I'm going to use it. I wonder if the 19mm rear bar is too small as well.

I'm working with Don - dmh. I'm about 1.5 hours from his shop. Texas is a somewhat longer commute

BBS RGR 7.5"x17" needed to fit 12.4" rotors. Of course, I could install 11.75" rotors and run 15" wheels...but I have the BBS wheels.

RGR's are a classic wheel, as are most BBS designs. It looks good on everything! :D

FYI, the BBS RGR are 7" x 17"
