But hey, cool anyway.
It's an optical illusion because I took the picture from the rear. The rear is exactly 1/4" higher in the photo. The rear is even with the front with my sub, amp and full tank of gas.

I don't know if the camber kit was necessary, but it's the peace of mind that it is adjustable. Camber kit is less than $40 and you can install it when installing the front springs. Takes and extra couple of minutes to install.

I have yet to install a swaybar kit. Not sure what I want yet. Need to do my homework. I may just do the rear sway bar for more oversteer. My biggest concern now is getting the fenders rolled before putting on the 20's. I rather use a fender roller than trimming the fender, even though rolling is difficult as well as more time consuming than trimming.

All four springs settled by 1/8" from when I first installed the springs. Now it's 13 7/8" from center of wheel to the fender.

I picked up a set of Pro-Lines Eibachs. What is the difference between the sport and pro springs.

Anyone in So Cal wanna install some springs this weekend? LOL

Just FYI , a rear bar will induce more understeer. Especially on a FWD car

I thought it would produce oversteer. Are you saying a rear bar on a fwd works opposite then on a RWD

You are absolutely wrong. A stiffer rear sway bar will produce more oversteer. This is not a subject to argue so please don't. Just thoroughly look it up and when you get back to me, you will just say I was right.

what exactly does rolling your fenders mean?
