Right after I pushed it off the lift, rear coilovers are all the way down, front's not quite halfway up. Detroit Speed SpeedMax front/Quadralink rear setup. Wondering if I could actually drive it this low

If you do drive it, put a set of wheels on the high manhole covers. They don't move much if you scrape the exhaust or suspension parts.

Since putting stock coils back in the front because it was too low. I think the CCP tubular arms need some positive camber pulled out since it's not sitting as low. The fronts sit a bit \ / Like it's starting to lift the front. It drives fine doesn't pull or wander but on a sharp turn it will squeal the front tires in a turn part of that could be the skinnies and the spool. Noticed it this week as I've been driving it every day to get that last 125 miles on the rearend break in.

There are a bunch of shims front and rear on both sides, so I think I'll pull one off each corner and see how that goes.

Well that only took about 10 minutes. Looks much better, pulled all the same thickness shims 2 from each position.


Need to take it for a spin and see how it feels.

Hard to tell from the pic but they no longer angle out at the top. Should be more negative but I don't think I could get much more based on the shims that are left and the added angle due to the upper arms.

I know your ride is more straight line oriented but you can go up to -1.0* before you start getting inside edge wear from the camber. Will definitely help your handling with the skinnies up front.

Well, I got as close to zero as I could but due to the added camber of the upper arms because they are meant to be ran with drop springs, I can't evenly make anymore adjustment.

I took it for a ride and made some hard turns, and she no longer feels like it's trying to push thru the turn and is not as twitchy as it was before when making slight steering adjustments.
