Finished my rear suspension. Next will be the front.......
I keep reading that the suspension will "drop" with time as it settles. I sure hope so because I Only got a 1/2" drop from the rear Eibachs. Hardly worth all the trouble and cost. The ride is definitely better from the rear Koni FSDs though.
Here are some pictures showing the finished product with the definite rear camber squat but not showing much of a drop.
Patience. I need more patience.

Rear altogether except for the wheel well cover:

Driver's side lower CPT arm with headlight adjuster:

Passenger side lower arm (with the gold band):

Rear Camber off:

Not much of a drop yet. A mere 1/2":

Tomorrow maybe I'll start on the front.

You'd get a bit more drop if you removed the white spacer plate under the rear spring
it's completely unnecessary with adjustable rear control arms - it is used by the factory to get camber into spec.

Now you tell me. I wish I would have known before I put it all back together.
I'll wait and see how it settles out over the next few weeks. I have some hefty friends that I could take for rides.
