After Christmas I replaced the entire front suspension. The car did have Bilsteins on it but they were blown so I replaced them with another pair of Bilstein sports that I bought from Bavarian Autosport.

I replaced the Eibachs in the front, which would be stiff enough for a "ricer" but not stiff enough for autocross. The springs that I put on it came with Ireland Engineering's coil overs. They are only 2.5" wide. With the narrower springs I am able to make the camber a lot more negative than with the Eibachs. To adjust the camber I bought adj. camber plates from Ireland Engineering.

This is the original strut all put together (It looks like crap),

and here is the new strut.

This is a view of the camber plates from the top. To adjust them, just loosen two bolts and slide it to the right or left (up or down in the picture).

On another note, this is my cat Bojangles watching the birds.
