Default That's a really nice doormat ;P Great setup! Did you bore a hole on top of the shock tower also?

Must be nice adjusting the dampers with little work Great links too ;P

Default Thanks =P

Yes I did bore a hole on top the shock tower. Unfortunately the springs I got with the kit were way too long. If you notice the threaded sleeves on my front shocks are way higher than the Stasis ones. The top hat from APR is also quite thick and it adds to the effective free length of the spring. I had the perches at the very bottom and still had almost 2.5" of wheel gap up front =(

I ordered 7" front and 6" rears from Ground Control and this time I went with some sane spring rates =) 600F/750R.

Default [jealous] ;) yeah, I was wondering why you had the perch all the way down.

I thought that you'l set them later on the car, but that would be a lot of work. Look at it this way, you can go 3" higher that stock non sport ;P Nice setup though. If I had that, I can go back and forth playing gran turismo and adjust bound/rebound till I can lap Laguna Seca around 1:19 with the S4 ;P

So you have the GT performance suspension package...
-adjustable F/R Spring rate (literally)
-adjustable F/R ride height
-adjuatable F/R bound
-adjuatable F/R rebound
-adjustable F/R camber
-adjustable F/R Toe
-adjustable Rear swaybar
