I have been blessed to have some great associations with some of the most knowledgable members in Texas.. namely Jeff, Thomas, Gio and Jun. Without them, the car wouldn't look half as good as it does.

Next time your in Texas, please let us know as meeting you would be a absolute pleasure.

Yes, you are in VERY good company! I'll def hit you guys up if I'm headed back over there. With my company cutting costs, the travel budget is pretty much gone right now. BTW, I'm really hurting for some Rudy's BBQ and hangin out on 6th street.

rears have less wear because i got the spc RCA's on.

waiting for my exact motorsport front RCA spacers now =)

I would say that was probably 10,000 miles.

I know, I saw those ones with the adjustable camber things for the rear and they are perfect for my GS.... but I found out my alternator is dying....300bucks byebye on repairs .

I know this is an older thread, but I'm looking to get a spec alignment out of my 98 GS400. All I have so far are Fortune Auto Series 500 coils. I want as much contact patch as possible, and little to no tire stretch (18x10 +12). I like being as low as I am.
Only thing is, I am unaware of my current alignment specs, but I know I have more negative camber in the front than I would like, and WAY more negative camber in the rear than I would like. I really am tired of spending 600 for rear tires every 6 months, hahaha. Plus I want functionality.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!


Also, any opinions on FIGS Engineering products would be greatly appreciated, as I had planned on going with them for all of my bushings and suspension links.

Thanks guys.
