Dial indicators are for newbs, I just ask shady if it looks good and when he nods I proceed.


Wait, maybe that's not such a good idea..........................

10K/7K PowerTrix Coilovers Installed, lowered, aligned, and corner balanced by Texas Track Works in Fort Worth:
Front: -2.0 Camber 0 Toe Damper:12
Rear: -2.5 Camber -1/16in Toe Damper:12

Hands Down an entirely different car in look and feel.


Rolled fenders on all 4 corners, rear tab/bolt shaved, but it's slowly self clearancing the rears. Been pulling black "string cheese" off the sidewalls after every drive. Fronts juuust rub against the spash guards at the front and rear while turning under braking. Tops of the tires are dead even with the bottom of the fender lips (pending coils settling). Hoping to be in San Antonio on the 20th!

So was I, I bought these while I was still in Japan since I didn't want to wait for my pack out. At this ride height 265/35 wont fit unless I increase the Camber in the rear.

That gas door definitely clashes. You need to take it off and say it got stolen.

By chance would anyone happen to have stock shocks? My 8 is in need of a little suspension refresh after the years of abuse Just got slotted/dimpled rotors and hawk pads installed all the way around so this puppy is almost in decent running order. Was planning on coming to the mod day in the 7 to find this vaccum leak but didn't wanna drag it to the other side of town where yall were meeting. LMK
