I just got in my springs and shocks and I will be going to get them out on my ride along with my new wheels. I got neuspeed sport springs with koni yeloow adjustable shocks. Is there anything I need to know before going to get them out on my car. I shouldn't need a camber kit should I? I just wana make sure this way when I go to the shop they don't try and screw me into buying unnecesary things. MY car is a 5th gen and my new wheels are 17's btw. Any help would be appreciated. thnx

In my experience with these particular springs and shocks-there is only 1 way that you can determine if you will need Camber Kits-GET AN ALIGNMENT.
With that boldly said, may I offer my setup page (************.com dated 12/10/01) as a starting point for you. Please remember that the parts were selected based on the printout from the alignment shop. Another thing-the Koni shock come set with the front perch on the upper groove and the rear on the middle. These are the correct positions and will cause the least trouble with the height of the car.
As to the wheels, I am on 16" x 7" +42 offset and stock size tires. There was a rub issue in the rear only. Simple fix is a Dremel or small file-you remove a small nub of plastic from the inner edge of the bumper cover near the retaining bolt and metal lip edge. This will be needed on both sides of the car. It only takes afew minutes to do and should not be visible after you cut the 1/4" x 1/2" nub away. If you are planning on a really fat tire-be very careful about offset. Personally, I would have preferred to be at +45, but the wheels I have are not available that way.
BTW: These springs DO NOT settle, my ride height has remained unchanged since day 1. You will want to gently use the shock settings starting soft for about 250 miles and slowly increasing to less than 1 turn for the next 1000. This will get the seals working at their best for a very long time.
You got other Q's--drop me an e-mail.

Where did you get the Koni Yellows man? How much did you pay? I think that I'm gonna get some of those on my 4th gen this summer, so any opinions you have on them after they are installed would be appreciated.
I've heard they kick ass though :D

~Peace :cool:
