In case anyone is still wondering: they're 3-piece Work Meister S1 in a rare candy Blue finish directly from Work Wheels Japan.

Ah, I see. You messed with your suspension and camber bolts without getting it aligned afterwards.
Alignments (toe-corrections) are critical when running negative camber.

Same thing happened to me when I installed my camber bolts. My kuhmos lasted like two months. I gotta get an alignment this week somehow now...

yup. i was just a lazy ___, pretty much. it's all getting sorted out though, and i'm done messing with my height and alignment while i'm still on these coils, so i should be solid for a while after this.

Hayseed, take your front bumper off and you should be able to get on a drive-on rack. that lip of yours is lower than ____. haha.

Hayseed, those bumper clips will come in handy after all for the alignment rack.

Uyles, alright, I gotcha now. I'll be rolling on them tomorrow. Luckily, the shop I take my car to will adjust the height on the alignment rack. And my coils have settled as much as they would after a few weeks.

I really liked how the Gold VS-XXs made the car stand out. I wanted a new set of wheels that did the same, but not in gold. Luckily, Work hooked me up with the candy blue before they discontinue(d) it.

Not really going for accents or anything. That's too showy for me.

Don't have anywhere around you with a ground alignment machine? There is one around here, but they wanted way to much. Luckily i have friends who work at pepboys and they made me a ramp to get onto the rack lol

Sigh* Unfortunately, the custom BCs were not as I expected. I'm currently talking it over with them, since they only goes as low as my old ones did. I'm disappointed. Anyway, it looks just OK. Nothing special, and sorry for the phone pics.

Dang that looks good, so they didn't give you the shorter springs and shorter cartridges like Hayseed?
