        Thanks for your feedback. How many degrees are you running? And (excuse me, I'm new to this) how did you get your measurements correct when drilling or biasing out the hole so that you had an accurate understanding of what degree of camber it was at? Basically, how can that be measured?

        The guys at Bag Riders assured me that would be a good idea as well, as they have done the same on some of there vehicles. A couple of the guys on the Saturn forum track their cars and advised me to slot the bottom hole instead. If I later decided I needed more, to pick up an aftermarket cam bolt for the top hole.

        I know you are man, your support is always appreciated! I'm pumped that my father is healthy at the time and we can work on this together. One life goal, checked off.

          I'm running -3* at my ride height. I made the hole about twice the bolt diameter in length. I can get to about -5* if I max it out. I don't know if there is an easy way to calculate how far off-center equates to how much camber. I just measured the amount of camber after adjusting it and kept doing so untill I got it where I wanted. A digital level can be used to give you a idea of how much camber you are running.

            Doh. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks man, I appreciate it!

              Mounted tires to wheels 5 and 6. Thinking about getting the struts measured out and welded up next Saturday, installing Sunday or Monday that week.

                  Me too bud! I'd be really happy if it lays flat out initially, but I'm not trying to expect anything and be disappointed.

                      UPS needs to get a move on and deliver my struts.

                        Struts came in. Received the wrong ones for the rear, but I'm sure Airlift will correct that for me. This stuff is really excellent quality, very happy with my purchases.



                        Getting a little bit of a stockpile going.

                        It's personally great to see this come through, easily one of the most satisfying times in my life. To think that I started this process in 2011 trying to find a job that would support a small build with quality parts and coming here is very relieving. Like taking a huge shit.

                        Also had some clear side markers show up, gonna try them out for a bit with clear fogs as well.
