For a regular dude, making regular wages, the listed $1780 for a TEIN flex kit for a GC chassis is a *lot* of money for something that's not a *need* ! :D

Jonny, whatever you end up doing/needing, just let me know dude! You know I'm all about helping out the club! I can hook up alignments for dirt cheap, put in camber bolts, whatever!

Dude it's all about the 575M now. Get with the program. :p

Jonny, are you going to swap out the suspension or keep the P1s and Konis?

I don't know why, but the 550 just appeals to me... Mmmm... sexy!

Especially for a street-driven car that's getting miles put on it, an aggressive rear camber setting is going to be a more expensive (both for the alignment, bolts if you need it, and continued tire wear) option than just clearing out the fenders a touch.

Just my opinion. Roll the fenders and remove the interference rather than trying to work around it for a street car. Alignment should be for handling, not tire clearance.

Interesting. Goes to show how much I know about the GC's

I dunno, it would be kind of a bitch adjusting the Koni's in the rear, but then again I don't autocross or anything (well not yet). The settings on the Koni's seem good right now, nice drivability and ride while it still can corner good, although I haven't cornered hard at all yet. The P1s give the car a real nice stance. I dunno, once I roll thar fenders I'll decide.
