how do i dial in my coilovers?

heres what im thinking about doing..

im gonna order 5mm for my front wheels and 7mm spacers for my rear wheels and put those on and then adjust my camber on my coils to try like hell to get that flush look on my car with stock wheels, im hoping this will work because i can see it in my head and it looks sick but if it doesnt work im gonna be pissed and then too i dont wana break something and be fucked although i still have warrenty left .

anyone ever done this let me know.

5 kg/mm is pretty soft up front. I'd probably run at least 6 to stay off bumpstops. You have to keep in mind that coilovers (except for KW) have a seriously reduced amount of travel, for better or worse.

If you're trying to dump the car that low, it's also going to require more spring and more appropriate damping. It's almost guaranteed that you're going to scrape badly at some point. Better have the condensation bar off your stock IC, and don't even consider an aftermarket IC if you're this low.

You also need to run some might big rack spacers, but you can't do that unless you run rotated mounts.

It's a downward spiral. Or you can just cut coils on your stock springs :-P
