Thanks man. No I don't have alignment specs yet, the car has no insurance it's still too damn cold to drive to work. I probably won't have anymore updates for 2 weeks until the weather lightens up around here.

Yea, im going to take it slow and give it a shot. I have done it before, im just hoping I dont need to do too much in the front.
Thanks! Up close it's not that clean, the fronts aren't perfect as I has zero idea as to what I was doing and it was too cold when I did it.

You're going to have to roll and pull/flare them slightly no matter what. I might have to bust the roller out and flare mine some more, I'm just waiting to see how much camber I can get from the stock joints first.

So I did my alignment today and ended up with -2.4f (maxed out) and -2.6r. However the rears are rubbing over dips. I think I'll need to squish my fenders some more.

Coils aren't in the budget this year for me!

It's rubbing mostly on the passenger side, so I'll go back out with my roller and see if I can do a better job with the fender. That, and add some more cambahhhh.

Did you relocate the bumper tab and trim bumper? 2.5* rear is plenty for that setup

If your rears are running it's definitelt either the bumper tab and or rear bumper itself. You have to shave down the inside of the rear bumper down about 4-5" or its going to rub. You have plenty of camber to clear them even with a mild roll and it's not soft spring rates either.

Relocate your tab, roll your rears flat, never have a problem again.

Guys the keys to sucess is cut ... do not roll. A cut buys you another 5mm.

I fit 9.5+38 on 255/40 Z2 at 3.0 camber...no rub.

Damnit guys, I was trying to get Fernando to buy some coils! lol

But for srs, if your fronts aren't rubbing (which are harder to fit), then I agree spring rates aren't the issue. I was looking through the RPF1 thread yesterday and found a few people running them with springs without issues. Squish those rears flat!
