Do they use the std bump stops?
Or do you revert to those in the shocks if any...

I imagine that flat section will line up with bump stops but won't know for sure until they're on.

Not sure what camber i'm going to go with yet. Got some pink springs on the way so want to be sure I still get no rub with them firstly.

But mainly i've just always had a bit of beef with the whiteline bush. It pissed me off to install, it pissed me off to set correctly, with aluminium rear arms I just don't have a huge amount of faith in it keeping its alignment, and with the constantly changing geometry that bush see's I just can't see any way it'll last all that long due to how thin the bush portion is.

Mine have been fine with alloy rear upper arms, but I get your point.

I want to give an idea to all of you who are interested in buying these wheels at similar or larger specs to mine.
These are the Enkei RS05RRs in 18 x 9 +40.

This is the most important point I have to make. Notice where my finger is? there is about 5-6mm gap remaining which means to everyone who wants to buy these wheels in 9.5" you WILL need spacers.

See where my finger is in the picture? between the rim and that arm. That distance is very tight. Also the spring/strut clearance is just on point. Any wider and it will definately touch :blind:

Interesting, I'll have to check against my alloy lower control arms.

Andy,

With those upper rear arms you purchased,

Are those simply enough to give the car a stanced look or do you need lower arms too :secret:

Like the rims fine, but is it normal to be running tyres not really wide enough for them? Or are the rims not available narrower?

Rims are available narrower but i chose 18 x 9 because I wanted to stretch the tyres a little. :D
