Jawknee what alignment settings did you go with?
I don't have my alignment sheet in front of me, but:
I went with the least negative camber in the rear that I could given my lowered ride height, which was around -2.3. I then made the front 0.5 degrees less than whatever I set the rear at so it's around -1.8. Front caster is around 7 degrees. I spec'd the front total toe of "0+" in (i.e. ~1/32", actual was 0.04" I think). The rear total toe was 1/8" in.
Not bad.
When I get my car realigned for next weekend I will max out my camber and leave the toe at 1/8th.
I then plan to adjust my bump to .5 turn from full stiff to start and adjust the rebound to .5 turns for the front and 1.5 turns for the rear. We will see how the car handles then. What I like about the bump and rebound is that you can make the adjustments within a few minutes. That rebound adjuster next to the fuel line in the rear is a killer though!

the rebounds are easy.. just keep the wheel on the rear one..
but the bump.. no way that is a few minutes job,
the only chance to do that on mine is jack the car up..
just a bit more design and they could have a very good system.. but at the moment it is a pain.
I thought that the bump was fine. I did mine without even removing the tires! Took no more than ten minutes. I do remember you saying before that you did not like the bump adjustment but it really was not as difficult as you made it out to be.
I just reached my arm around the coil and modified the tool a bit and it was cake.
Yes, I did jack up the car a bit though.
I would rather adjust the bump than that single rear rebound wheel near the fuel hose. I hate that!

IIGQ4U,
Im hearing different reviews about the spacers and wanted to find out from people who have been using this suspension for a bit if they have had any issues from using them or not using them...
As far as the height goes ride height or fender to wheel height which ever is easier for people to measure,,,
thanks

Ahhh... What are you trying to do with the car? just drive on the streets of L.A.? If so, I would raise the car as much as possible... I was in L.A. last week and the roads there are HORRIBLE!!!
Seriously though, I think that a two finger gap or so looks pretty good not too high and not too low.
