A) This needs to be a sticky
B) Picked up a set of coilovers last night and started installing them... at 9pm... in darkness... with my motorcycle acting as a shop light haha. I got the rear set in, but the front gave me hell because I was following some online instructions instead of my own logic so now that I'm at work and I figured out what I was doing wrong it's killing me that I have to wait 8 hours to get back home and finish!

Dropped the car
The front is almost as low as it can go, possibly another .25"
The rear is sitting a bit too high, but it's just high enough not to rub on anything but a high speed turn (ie 70 on a tight-radius on ramp) so I'm not sure if I'll lower it more... I'm gonna play with it tomorrow though, just to make sure
Will take pics in the AM...

I can't host pics while at work so I've attached them... It needs to go lower in the back, and I'll probably drop it even more in the front when I get home...
EDIT ~ Excuse the quality of iPhone pics

It'll go another .25" to .5" the way it is now, and it'll go another 1" to 1.5" if I remove the helper spring in the front, but I'm not sure if 2" is possible with the coilovers I have.
As for the positive camber. I didn't mess with it last night so I'm not sure why it looks positive... it might be the picture because it is negative, probably -1 to -1.5 degrees.
