Oh I'm sure lol I was just surprised that Renntech would post such a crappy picture! Anyways, did you run yours with oem shocks? If so, what did you think?

I installed them with Bilstein shocks.. Didn't try them with oem shocks.. I am very satisfied with my current set-up.. Great ride handling and stance.. Getting camber kit and #4 pads installed in the near future.. For some reason the driver side rubs under heavy loads..

Oh sounds good. I've tried H&R springs with stock shocks back when I had my Jaguar and the results weren't pretty lol But that's strange. Are your fenders rolled?

Wow, did not know that and i am pretty sure fender rolls will definitely fix the problem with rubbing and camber wear on my tires.. Thanks for the info..

Yeah no problem, it won't fix your camber wear though. That's just due to camber lol

Be careful with fender rolling
You have to be handy with a heat gun

And old paint will flake off the edges of the fenders if you arent careful!

Yeah, it's a very slow procedure and requires a lot of patience...

Oh haha, I was gonna say... But yeah that makes perfect sense. Although negative camber does look sick!
