new suspension...I LOVE IT!

[Nick]

just finished installing all my new goodies. Ireland stage 1 springs, fixed camber plates, bilstein hd's, urethane bushings, and a front strut bar from top end. it rides so much nicer now, sporty yet comfortable. days like this remind me why i work so hard on this little orange car of mine.

Any pics of how it sits? Are the camber plates noisey? Going through my suspension right now looking for input. Thanks

I'll try to get pics in tomorrow. The front is a little higher than i expected it to be, but it looks good. The camber plates are attached to the stock strut bearings, so you knock the old studs out and bolt the camber plates to the strut bearings. The only thing i found wierd was a little bit of rubbing between the nuts that hold the camber plates in and the metal piece that sits on top of the spring. I had to do a little filing to make it clear, i dont know if anyone else has had this problem.

Yep Nick hasn't found out yet but he will.Camber plates on a street car are a no no.Noisy. If it isn't noisy then Iam to imagine that the rear subframe is also on solid steel subframe mounts.The rear mounts on a sub frame are a lot quiter than running camber plates up front.But then again who decides what is noisy and what is not. guess if you drive an 5 series and up everyday to work then jump in a 2002 that is stock with all stock rubber then it would appear noisy to all[/i]
