I know someone selling a front Nagisa camber plate, which basically does the same thing as SS Kit Pro.

So this is what my box looked like 2 weeks ago. im waiting for the final pics today when my wife picks the car up. It shows the way the box is ported to get the maximun sound. After 2 months of errors with the size, placement and shape of the box, i decided to go something more standaqrd. I was gling to lost my sunshade with my last setup and the sound was gonna be what i wanted. This one is built to specs for 2 13's. Im excited to get home.

Also the rear Toe Arms and Traction rods will be shipped on monday. The 3 sets of arms will be installed when i return from afghanistan in the middle of May. Im looking forward to some camber =). Pics will be up of the complete system later today or tomorrow

Well im not satisfied with my system so i took it back in to get redone again. The car is also in to get buffed and polished. So here is what she looks like as of today. I rolled the fronts but the paint is chipping so thats bad... might as well repaint the whole front. It has imperfections on the hood from someone trying to repair the paint from scratches so ill bite the bullet and pull the **** outta the fenders and repaint.

specs are...

-2.7 / -2.8 F
-7.8 / -8.0 R

20x9 +20 225/35 F
20x11 +15 255/35 R

Fronts are rolled and it rubs when i hit dips and trun hard. Rears are cut but slightly rub on big dips. Not as bad as the fronts. Im also not running datasystems do to a failure of the controller. The screen wont give me info, just lines. I adjusted the ride height bars in the rear, cut my front ones and rewelded them shorter to pull the front down. I can drive it at the height in these pics and it slightly tucks the rear. I wont go any lower until my fronts are pulled.

The way i drive it is if i get on the freeway i make sure the switch is in "Height Hi". In town i put it on "NORM". I drove it on the freeway over 60MPH in "NORM" and rubbed the fronts so bad that white smoke was pouring out. Thats a no no. Its driveable on "Height Hi" on the freeway over 60. Slight rubs on big dips but o well.

The rear arms have been replaced with Megan Traction rods, Toe arms and Lower control Arms. Ill see how they do after a while. They have more than enough room for adjustment on this setup. Lemme know if you guys have any questions

Hey any updates on this build? I'm particularly interested in the pioneer stereo you had installed and how that worked out..

I too would like to know how the stereo install worked. This build was pretty cool and I'd love to see some updates.
