This weekend is going to be fun! Suspension install finally here
Well my suspension kit is ready to go in so Sunday is reserved for major surgery.
Eibach pro kit springs, and anti roll bar kit
BMR LCAs, PHB, PHB brace, and LCA relo brackets
Koni STR.T all the way around
GT500 mounts
Here hoping it all goes smooth.

That kit is gonna really feel good on your car. My buddy has it on his 2014. I finally got around to installing my FR P springs on my rears last weekend. Talk about stupid easy simple install. Took me longer to properly get it on jackstands than to do the swap. LOL I get a lil paranoid about cars falling on me...
A spring compressor makes the front install way easier and if you have an impact then your really moving along. Good luck and have fun, I love working on my car.

Thanks guys. I rented a spring compressor, and have a cheap impact gun so I hope to be done in a day.
As for the camber settings I bought Eibach alignment bolts (or whatever they are called), and with the GT500 mounts I should be ok. Besides the drop is only going to be about an inch max so Im not worried.
I think this will complete my suspension set up. The car should feel brand new after all this. Next is exhaust but I have to replenish my bank account haha.

Looks good. Im going with those same springs and dampers, but with only a j&m panhard. Wast thinking about the eibach sway bars but i decided not to since im not racing or anything... just a secondary daily street car.

I only did it (Eibach sway bar kit) was because I was going to have the car apart and didnt want to get under it a second time haha. Now that everything is installed the car feels like a completely different vehicle. The ride is harsher but boy does it stick on the turns. I am getting it aligned today after work then I will really test it out.
