I went for a fast road set up. 20mm drop all round (on normal sports suspension) bound/rebound settings 7/8 and medium ride.

Spacers are 10mm rear and 8mm front.

Tyres are standard 255/35/19s.

If you get your 4WLA done soon after having the coilovers installed you will most certainly have to redo it once the suspension has settled. I waited a few months between alignments (did a total of 4 over a year). I will also add that I brought my rear up by 5mm as it was sitting too low.

I will take measurements for you later.
Im heading in to do my alignment shortly. I figured I may have to make a few trips back to get the alignment just right.

Much appreciated Sonny 8)

Did you have to fit/change the swaybar given the DRC is gone. I've not heard people talk about this and to be honest I've never looked at that part of my car, but thought you guys would know.

When I first switched to PSS9's I had the OEM ARB's on and the drive was a bit wallowy. I then put H&R ARB's on and it was spot on.

I already had uprated ARBs front and rear when I was running DRC. Sure stiffens the ride up with the KWs
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar
