Hey do you also have any RCA's installed? I know this is kinda old but I have those same SPC's I want to install along with my 17mm RCA's and LS calipers but I'm reading about all these issues people are running into with this combo, but I'm no where near slammed at all, did you experience any issues? Slamming of the shock towers and what not?

Ok, so I've finally completed my car to a point where I can actually drive it. Came up with an issue regarding the SPC's.
One inner fender is worse than the other but it seems like the SPC'S don't clear the inner fender overhead. Some bending of the metal has happened. Don't know if it was due to a pot hole or what but I'm not that low to begin with. Looks like the arm clears the overhead now but I'm going to shave that area a bit and add FIGS bump stops and see if that helps.

I think it happened when I hit a dip in the road on the way home causing me to bottom out. I must have had the dampers on the soft setting. TEIN CSv2 feels a bit soft even on the max hard setting. I'm gonna try to upgrade the springs or see if I can find some Super Streets to trade or buy. hopefully those FIGS bump stops will help in the mean time. thankfully its just thin sheet metal that got bent.

What settings did you guys set the caster at? My previous alignment sheet from August 2017 shows 6.2 degrees for the driver side and 6.7 for the passenger side. Specified range is 7.1 - 8.1 degrees.
Also, with that .5 degree difference, could this be a reason why my car keeps pulling to the right? I'm going to be putting new tires on, installing the SPC UCA's and then going for an alignment.

I'll see if I can upload it on here in the morning.
