Someone in this thread should start a car club for CTs
Y'all have some really nice, modded CTs and I'm sure we can get something going. I want to be a part of a car club but there's none out there for our cars *sigh*.
I'm in California around the South Bay/Fullerton area btw.
Come on, let's do this y'all!
I'm sure we are all geographically challenged. An IG page would be cool .
Need help with front camber, its currently -2 degrees with SPC Cam bolts but I'm trying to achieve at least -4... Here's what it currently looks like and I will be lowering it an inch lower to hide the wheel gaps.
Sorry for late reply hope you still read this. D2 makes a camber plate that replaces the plates on your current struts. You should be able to achieve -4 in combo with the spc cam bolts.In other news i installed my air suspension. Still got a lot to do but figured i share my progress.

Reason: more pics
So it's been awhile since I've updated this forum, but I'm very glad to be back.
As of today, my car is now sitting on Megan Racing lowering springs. Since this photo is within minutes of the install, the springs haven't settled, which means I am assuming within two or so weeks, my car will drop maybe another .25 to .5 on both the front and rear. I had a family friend install my springs since he was a BMW mechanic and had all the tools... which I am blessed to have as an option because I have called a few shops to get quotes on my spring install, and they have all quoted me around $500 to $800 because they assume it's going to take about 2.5 hours per wheel. I will say, watching my family friend, that it does not take nowhere near 2.5 hours. Anyway, from my ride so far, I love them. They feel like stock suspension. I also assume my ride may change to be more stiff as my springs settle, but we'll see.
For my shoes, I am running Avant Garde M220s, 18x8 ET30. I love them and the attention they get. I have Nitto Neo Gens, 215/40/18.
@salsaboiii Looks clean man!! The car will def drop after a few hundred miles. It's good you had a friend who could install the springs for you because those quotes do sound high. Hope you can post more pics bro!
Got some new wheels and finally cleaned up my air setup in the trunk. My next goal is to widen the fenders so i dont have to run so much negative camber.

Cutting the rear fenders to get that wide look. Using 2" spacers for now until new wheels come in.
Found out that the rears dont sit in the center of the well. Its not obvious until you bring the wheel out youll notice it sits closer to the door side. Here you can see how close to the door i came. I actually cut more after this picture.
got the rear fitment where i want with ebay flares. gonna use them as a mold for fiberglass.
still waiting for my camber plates for the front. going to put some negative camber on the front to match the rear.
