Re: STI Suspension Swap Project

Installation complete!!!!

Decided to change it up a bit and modify the camber plate instead of the car, since only one hole had to be moved. Press out stud, drill 5/16" hole, press in stud, done.



Took the rear knuckles off, ground them down, bolted everything together aaaannnnd:

When the car is in the air and the wheels are already at stock ride height you know you're in for something interesting.



On the ground:



This thing is LOW. The picture doesn't really convey just how close to the ground it sits. I can't get my baby finger between the front tire and the fender. It feels very strange walking up to the car now, and even weirder when the hood's open. I'm very accustomed to having the engine at a certain height, and now that it's 2-3" below that... Weird. I also tagged my exhaust on a small speed bump on the way home. The insanity begins!!!

The trunk is still full of tools and parts, so I haven't been able to give it a good drive to figure the handling out yet. Tomorrow!
