sorry I haven't posted in here for a while. I sold my old coilover and bought br and new bc br coilovers custom spring rates and 50 mm shorter springs and struts with custom Sprin rates at 11kg front and 16kg rear. I also got k sport rear camber plates to I can get more camber in the rear. I bought some bee radiator supports And New washer kit the engine bay. I am also getting my lips and barrels made for my new Wheels here are pics of my new wheels and all my new parts I need to install. I also got a new cluster pod so I can put some gages in.

The K-sport camber plates worked well for me and got me about -1.3 degree of camber. Just make sure you grind down the supplied allen bolts so they sit flush with the top of the spring.

[rar40941]

Alright sweet. Thanks for the info. I will for sure do that

 

[Lewis7789]

Just curious, why did you order those spring rates? That's pretty darn stiff in the rear, no? Might get a lot of oversteer with that setup.

 

[ffocused.]

Because fitment, haha.

Where did you order the BC's with the shorter struts and springs?

 

[Lewis7789]

Because fitment, haha.

What?

 

[ffocused.]

You can put the wheel/tire closer to the fender with less chance of rubbing when hitting bumps.

 

[Lewis7789]

Oh. So slammed philosophy. Never mind then.

I did those springs rates cause it's a mixture of track and stance track spec is 500 front and 850 this is 600 front and 900 rear so it's perfect for track and stance set up I just put my camber plates on did u Eve have a problem installing them cause the bolts aren't angled ? Like the bc top hats

 

[rar40941]

I installed the plates today

i will install them tonight and I did a hoe.to on how to install the plates and Will do an install video

No offence to you rar but do you guys really think having the spring right up against that plate is okay?? Any camber and the spring is coming at that thing on an angle. it wont be able to sit flat, only a small area of the spring will actually be in contact with the bottom of that plate, which means it could move around. Pretty sketchy. Has no one else noticed you kinda need upper spring perches to make this set up work properly??

Agreed, never noticed that until now. Doesn't look right.

Those are supposed to be pillow ball upper mounts and with the spring right there it doesn't look like it can move.

 

[Lewis7789]

Very interesting point gentlemen. I never really thought about it...

I never had any issues (that I'm aware of) with this setup on my P5 when I auto-x'ed it a handful of times and flogged it on the streets. But I've since sold the P5 and it's been on jackstands for about a year so I can't comment on how they've been holding up.

For reference in your How-To you're more than welcome to use these pics, Reg.
