Cpotts's 2kgt Build Thread
If I could swing it, it would go in my car this winter. Probably in 2 or 3 years. I will more then likely just be a lightly modded 2V, b/c it will still be my autox car, but the weight savings is awesome.
Its pretty awesome just to look at though. Plus it shipped UPS, wieghs 70 lbs lol. Just pick it up and put it wherever you want.

Old nasty rotors, they were actually rusting in the middle of the rotor...
The new and the old, parts store rotors and pads, nothing special.
Getting my alignment did!

Or like this (wheel near right fender)
The caster and everything is all within speck. its the camber is set to -1.5 on both sides and thats as close to in spec as we could get it.
Negative camber is where the wheel goes in at the top..
something like this but not quite as extreme

I guess -1.5 isn't to bad anyways. Hahaha
I have the MM plates with a 1.5" drop and they couldn't get mine perfect either. Oh well.

Dude, switch the plates to the positive position. I'm almost positive you switched it to the negative position.
They should look like this.

You probably have them so that the bearing is closer to the middle. You can just swap them, and you will get much closer to being in specifications.
