Suspension help!

silver04v should I be concerned with running into problems with a flush stretched tire? In the future I plan on using a more square tire that won't be stretched at all (235/40)

FB2Chris it's nice to know you didn't need to purchase camber arms and it was taken care of with alignment. Hope you can get a better picture soon. Thanks!

235 40 is a lot of tire. May be iffy
 
The offset is 33. Do you think I would rub with the H&R springs? The over all diameter in 0.2 in shorter thanks the factory tires

Sorry I haven't got around to taking pictures yet. If finger gap helps any, since my H&Rs settled there's a finger and a half gap all the way around.
 
Michael Perez Sorry for the delay on the pictures, here they are:

This is straight from an email from RedShiftChris:

The Koni Sports are $485 shipped. We have a package with the H&R Sport Springs that is $704 shipped.

Now there is the issue where the front Koni Sport shock is an insert where you have to use the stock front shock and cut it open to install the Koni insert. If you are not comfortable with that, we can do it for $99. And obviously we would have to have struts to fab, and yours are on your car... so we have a core service for $200. You pay $200 up front and then we refund the $200 when you return your struts to us... so it costs you nothing but shipping your struts back to us. Or you can purchase new struts from us for $200, but then you cannot return your struts for a refund.

Pricing on all that is:
$704 Koni and H&R springs
$99 fab
$200 strut core (new or used/refundable)
TOTAL up front $1003.
After you refund your cores, then we refund you the $200 and you will have spent $803 on it all.

Lastly, we have a "Full Assembly" option for $199 where we build the front struts like an HFP kit (so it's easy to install)...that way you don't have to do any dis-assembly of your front struts.

Of course, these extras are optional... and you can just get the $704 parts package too... but I wanted to be sure you were aware of all the services we offer.

Or you can get the full coilover setup... it's a really nice setup. But if your car is a daily driver mostly, then I'd recommend against the coilovers. The H&R Springs and Koni Sports is so good as a street setup that it's hard to beat. The coilovers will make the car faster through corners, but maybe that's not the most important thing to you?

is that like a staff special or something? when i bought mines from RedShiftChris, he wouldn't budge from his website pricing.

No, my Koni shocks plus fabrication were a good price and included the $200 refund.
 
I don't recall any staff specials. And Chris is still a normal member here so forum specials wouldn't be likely.
 
Koni has sales sometimes. My total was $1400+ for new everything and full fab/assembly.

Sorry i'm late to the party but no, not a special price, it was just that the Konis are on sales right now.
I never said I was staff in my email so he wouldn't have known or given me a special price.
