Ok Guys I'm New Here
I have a question about rear suspension camber adjustment (THRUST ANGLE). How do I do it?
Thanks, Geo

so how is the ride with the springs?
I have also looked at redong mine to get it to sit a bit lower. But really would like to keep the ride and would like to get the antiroll bars for it eventually

The ride with the Eibach's is great. It is a bit stiffer, but I always thought the originl ride was too soft, especially for a car called "SS". At first the stiffer ride was very noticable, but it didn't take long to get used to it. I was also concerned about the stiffer ride creating rattles, but that hasn't happened.
The car is dropped about 2". It really makes it look better, more sports-car like. I have parked next to stock height cars and you can really see the difference.
The 17" rims are kinda small looking, which I didn't expect. I wish now I would have gone with 18"s, but nothing bigger. I have about 27,000 miles on the tires now and will replace them in the next few months, at about 32,000 - 35,000 miles. They are 255-45's and I am going to look at a different size, maybe around a 265 or 275/50 or 55 if they will fit. I want the tire to fill the wheelwell a bit more and wouldn't mind a bit wider. They are the Daytona Z rated, and I want a more aggressive-looking tire. Any suggestions would be appreciated. We get alot of rain here, so a good wet/dry tire is necessary.

i only buy the BF good ritch when i can But i have to replace the Z rated ones i have on mine now. They are tore up thanks to a lot of playing on eh Auto bond.
But i have seen the BE goodritch Traction Ta they had great reviews on them but they were like h or v rating instead of the Z
Honestly unless your going at speeds over 100 you really dont need but that is all my own opion on that one. The compound in them is way to soft .
but they are fun and great to know that you have it when needed.
also good years or Dunlops seem to make pretty good tires . But i have never ran Dunlops on my montes i have on the Harley but that is about it.
