Here's something I don't quite understand. My axle is more centered now after lowering it, in fact its within a 64th of an inch from true, I guess I don't need a panard bar after all.

I guess I got lucky.

Set the fronts to medium and the rears to full stiff, nothing but tire spin and you have a drift monster. Set the fronts to medium stiff and the rears to medium, you have a great handling car that you don't need a mouthpiece to keep from biting your tongue off going over bumps. The amount it lowered was just perfect too. Got rid of that annoying wheel gap.









Was well worth the price tag.
now THAT, is how suspension should be, awesome job!

Correct. No modifications necessary. It's real simple. Took less than 45 minutes to put in my rear springs and shocks, and swap my stock springs and shocks into that 07 v6.

The only time your gonna have issues with parts from a 2005-2009 on a 2010 is cosmetic stuff, mostly. Most "hard parts" are all the same.

Looks amazing. I have the same setup arriving Friday. Can't wait to get rid of all the body roll and of course fender gap.

Holy crap, another 2010 in silver.

I already posted this in the other thread you replied to, but just some advice. I found if you run the fronts on 2 full turns, and the rears on one full turn, it gives you the best ride without sacrificing any performance.

Seems a little too much for my tastes. I'm backing off to 1/2 turn in the back and 1 turn in the front. I'll try that for a while. Man, the springs and Konis really transformed my car! No more wheel hop, nose dive, or ugly fender gap.

Looks awesome. I've already got my Koni Yellows, buying Steeda Sports from Strano as soon as I get a check from my school... I guess i'll just swap springs/struts whenever i get my 2011
