I wish he would hand craft a set of mounts and spacers for my base model auto. I know he had some custom made to eliminate the axle bind. I need them for my HHR.

Exactly. I've had a shake at 20mph since I installed my coils...no noise or anything just some vibration. I'm guessing it's the axle bind.

Hey that reminds me i was wondering since my subframe is off this would be a good time to add the rack spacer/s if i were to buy them...

Worth it though? Do i need them being lowered an inch? I dont get much bumpsteer but she does like to wander a bit in the lane.

Just do it. They are easy to install anyways, having it off just makes it into a 2 minutes job instead of 10.

OTTP. Like $20 total .

Someone told me to post in here

My old Mazdaspeed Miata that was featured in S3 Magazine.

And my SRT-6 (current)

The Miata had way more badass fitment - I was running 16x9 +5 front/16x9 +0 rear w/ a 205/40 tire. Had roughly -4 degrees of camber up front and -6 in the rear. Didn't really want to go the same route with the SRT-6 though. I still wanted it to be low, I just didn't want a ton of stretch and camber as I felt it took away from the "gentleman" look that the SRT-6 has going for it. Not to mention it makes a ton more power. Even so, i'm running -3.7 degrees of natural camber front and rear according to my most recent alignment.
