Should hopefully be finishing up all the suspension work today, then I'll get some better pics.
So far my only regret is that I went a little too aggressive on the front wheel offset. Probably should've have done a +30 instead , but luckily I'm able to adjust the camber to bring them flush.

Yea that sucks, man! Hopefully that vendor will start producing again.

Suspension is all dialed in after a trip to the dealer to get the LDW system reset. Was able to get the rears within OEM specs, and the fronts are running about 0.5 degrees of more negative camber from the factory to keep the wheels flush. Overall, I'm very happy with the setup and glad I opted for the Megan racing control arms.

Tsudo cat-back exhaust installed. Loving the sound and the build quality was way better than I was anticipating. Might need to swap the tips out for some duals though....

Funny that you asked that because I actually photoshopped them out for these pics because I haven't decided whether or not to actually do it lol


So, funny thing happened today.... after driving about 400 miles already on the new setup, I started getting a really nasty clunking noise in the front. I pulled the wheels off and double-checked all the nuts/bolts and lock collars... everything was tight. Happened to look at the passenger side swaybar cradle bolts and found that they had backed out! The problem is, I never touched these during my install!
