Just boss springs. It was only 3/4-7/8" drop. My guess was everything got out of wack when i was jacking the engine around with the k member braces were unbolted.

Waiting on an answer from AM if caster/camber plates will get me back into line. If those don't work then I"ll wait for the rest of the list. Speaking of which, does anyone know if I have to disassemble the strut to install those plates, or can I do it without the spring compressor? I am not disassembling those struts again without replacing them IF I can help it.

Sorry Clint but you do have to take them apart to put the C/C plates on.

Which plates did you want to go with? I have the steeda plates on right now but I'll be switching these out for the ground control cc plates. I actually may sell my entire setup again and pick up the whole ground control coilover kit but I dont know.. I have issues....

Well I've been caught by my accountant eyeballing your last post about ahem "used parts" that may or may not be available.....I'm looking at either the steeda's or the maximum motorsports, haven't really looked that much to be honest so any brand is up for consideration. If you decide on the coil over setup PM me a price for the koni's and the plates. Might be interested in the springs too but not if the drop is too much. Damn driveway already scrapes if I'm not careful.

If you don't get the entire set-up then you might as well just get C/C plates because you'll have to take the whole strut apart anyway. If he sells the entire set-up, make life easy and buy it and sell what you have.

The Hotckis drop is similar to the drop of a pro-kit. I'll let you know, I don't even think I've put 50 miles on the new suspension yet.

Aren't some of the CC plates pretty bad for NVH themselves? Steeda's are better than some of the others, correct?
