Default SPC Adjustable Ball Joint Install How-To

I recently installed SPC adjustable ball joints in the front of my S and I documented the install. The install also shows how to remove the brake dust shields.

Here's the link: S2000 SPC Ball Joint Install How To

Let me know if you have any questions or corrections.

Make sure to advise getting a re-alignment after installation. Maybe include the install video that SPC has on their website? Nice write up Rob, thanks for taking the time

There is a link to the SPC install video, but I'll add a warning about the alignment.

Thanks for the writeup Rob. It was very thorough.
BTW you run huge camber. How does the car feel with your alignment?

I finally got a good alignment with the SPC camber kit. With me in the driver seat my shop was able to get:

Front
Caster 6.8 degrees
Camber -2.8 degrees
Toe 0

Rear
Camber -3.3 (no camber kit in back)
Total Toe In 36"

I have the SPC balljoints set at maximum negative camber (full in), but the stock adjusters have plenty of additional camber adjustment available if needed.

How does the car handle with those cambers Rob?
Also, what wear pattern do you have on the tyres? Do you get any wear on the outer edge of the tyres?
