ORIGINAL: CO AVANT

Nice good luck. Should take ya anywhere between 2-4hrs for the install. First time installs always take more time. If you need any help during install feel free to hit me up. FYI, after a suspension install you need to get your car re-aligned. Always a good measure to take. I have some good camber/caster/toe settings if you want to give them to the alignment shop.
This is what I got for set up from StaSiS off their web site, I do alot of highway driving and I want my tires to last a decent amount of time. From what I understand .... My camber is determined by my ride height setting, and the toe settings are done my the alignment shop. I think i will go with conservative setting. I have monster speed bumps at my condo, so I can't go too low.

Conservative Street Setup
Between 1/16 and 1/32 TOE IN front and 1/32 TOE IN rear
Ride height at 25.875” front and 26.000” rear
(–1.0 camber front)

Aggressive Street Setup
Between 1/32 and 0 TOE IN on all four corners
Ride height at 25.500” front and 25.625” rear
(–1.5 to –1.75 camber front)

I always appreciate suggestions, all my knowledge somes from a damn web site, so how is your ride set up? agressive? conservative?

I would suggest to set both front and rears to 25.75" to start. They will settle down to 25.5" after a couple hundred miles of driving. 25.5" is not too low, it's a perfect driving height IMO. I rock my KWV3's at 25.375" front/rear, and Colorado has some of the worst roads in the country.

I rock 0 toe in all four corners, camber @ -1.5 front & -1.2 in rear. This is fairly aggressive.
