I'm planning on a cruise down to the central IL SVT meet on Sunday with my local club.

Just finished the install of Koni sports, steed sports and BMR PHB. Took me 4 hours thanks to this thread.
So what is the point of the FRPP bump
Stops? They look identical to the stockers.

Quick question: Did you guys use camber bolts too? I just re-read and didn't see any mention of them. Are they put in near the bottow of the front strut?

Did not use camber bolts since he resulting negative camber will be b/w -1.3 & -1.7. This is ideal for a DD/track car. If you do all highway driving than one camber bolt per strut is what you need. It goes in the bottom slot. You can always buy and have the alignment shop put it in.
