We installed a whole bunch of suspension on our shop FL5. We were running on Eibach Sportline Springs for a bit while we got our suspension package in place.

You can find all the parts on our site which will be link embedded!

We can also have a custom packaged deal with a discount depending on options like the Sakebomb camber plates (we are official dealers for Sakebomb Garage/FPSpec), EDC canceller, helper spring upgrade, custom spring rates etc. PM for more information!

- Ohlins R&T (stock 6k/10k springs) and Ohlins helper springs upgrade
- Sakebomb Camber Plates/Top Hat
- Awaiting our Swift Springs 6" 6k springs to come in then we'll swap out the front springs (fine balance between aesthetics and track functionality; we're good with losing a little bit of compression travel for more lows and we can always raise it up for track days if needed)
- Ohlins EDC Cancellation Kit
- Whiteline Front Lower Camber Ball Joints
- Whiteline Front Sway Bar Endlinks
- Whiteline Rear Lower Toe Arms
- Eibach Rear Upper Control (Camber) Arms

We set the front LBJ to max camber pin setting (-3*), upper strut guide pins were already removed previously on the old set up, and adjusted the upper camber plate to farthest out (no additional camber).

Eyeballed everything with regards to camber/toe/caster and went to our friends shop for the alignment rack. For being eyeballed, I think we did pretty good all things considered :)

Wanted at least -3.5* front and -2.5* rear camber, and this was initial reading.

Overall very happy with how it turned out! Once our Swift Springs come in, we may move the LBJ camber pin to the middle setting (-2*), then adjust from the top camber plate in order to reduce a little bit of the gained track width from camber adjustment from the LBJ as we're planning to run aggressive wheel specs and tire size once our shipment arrives! Also if you're in the North Texas DFW area, we can get all this installed and knocked out for you.

When you guys installed the helper spring w/ the Ohlins front springs, were you able to lower the car more than 20mm and still have a reasonable amount of preload?

Yes, in the pics we have them set at the lowest setting on the threads and the preload was probably at very least .5"-.75". We have the shorter Swift springs on now, and even with .5" of threads left, still preloaded a smidge with the helper springs. And lowered it a hair over .5" more than lowest setting on factory springs + helper springs

(even then, with all the factory stuff and helper spring, it was about 10mm lower than factory spring and no helper spring at finger tight preload).

This is really common with Ohlins in general regardless of platform (on the struts that use preload as height adjuster) - you need shorter springs + helpers if you want to go lower, otherwise you may not be super happy with the height if you care about that

I noticed that the helper spring listing is no longer on your website. Is it still orderable through your shop?

I was curious about the kit above. I was also curious if you would be able to dial the camber/toe into a OEM spec range if elected too once car is dropped to a more aggressive stance? Then, it could be dialed to a more track alignment when needed? Thanks

Sorry for delayed reply.

I can get all of the parts listed for sure. And yes you can dial in stock alignment if you wanted and track alignment if/when you need.

The combination of LBJ + sakebomb camber plates is a little overkill for most people but it gets you A LOT of adjustability.

If you want a quote, please PM.
