I'm sure Steve wouldn't have done the KMAC kit on his coupe unless it needed it.

Might be a production date thing. Mine was BAD, Larry's was not. I think Jenner's was fine

Default Steve's advice was do the bottom. My quess, less forces at work on bottom + easy access.

If you need to fill wheel well you will need spacers anyway. The Kmac can only be good for 5mm max (my quess). :-)

Default I did not bother...if you just do straight driving maybe but.....

I drive back roads and hardly any highway miles so the camber is OK. I'de prefer having more front negative camber to match the rear. Just look at the wear of your tires after a few thousand miles and see if you are getting premature inside wear. Also check the fronts. If you can balance the wear with rotating the tires every 5k and you get good milage out of the tires ie...15k miles, it may not be worth bothering with. If you drive lot's of highway miles and notice premature wear or just want the car to "look" a certain way then the kit may be worth the expense.

One note - I would assume the roadster and the 225 would be worse because they are heavier cars.

Default Does this mean you'll have extras for a fellow TT'er?

If so, I'll split the costs w/ ya!

Default Dave....1 inch drop= about -.75 in camber change......>>>

Mine was exagerated because of spacers and came out at -2.5 with Eibachs. I'm at -1.6 now. Split a set of kmacs and do the lowers....IMO

I needed it! At -1.6 now and it's great! Probably lowers only is what you'll need...

Sang, I offered them to "Bad" Dave. If he declines, I'll split them with you.

Default I'm also trying to get more then 15K out of a set of tires. If I go with the S03's

$800.00 is a lot to spend every year.
