Got tired of waiting on my wheels so I went ahead and installed some of the parts I had for my car. After work on Saturday I put her up on a lift in the shop and went to work.

5 hours later I emerged with a dirty shirt and decent drop and major upgrade in the handling department.

Installed:
Ground Control Coilovers
Ground Control Front Camber Cups
Specialty Products adjustable rear control arms
Neuspeed Rear sway bar and support plate
Mr Alex Rear upper strut bar
Mr Alex C-Pillar bar
Buddy Club titanium oil cap (the hardest part of the whole job.

I figured that if I was gonna take it apart for one thing might as well put on the rest of it. Still gotta put it on the alignment rack Monday or Tuesday and get it all lined up.

I have to say my car loves the corners now even on stock tires

Pics to follow

not a very good pic. you can see it through the glass. very cool in traffic from behind....Actually decent enough for a club logo now.

you can see the top of the camber cup here. not much to look at. Lots of camber change availible.

I just wish I had my camera at work when I was working on it. I didnt get any pics of the cups before I started

how much did those gc camber plates go for?

i want a set, but i'm tempted just to get the crash bolts. .. .

They are a great set. GC retails them for $229 shipping was about $15.

There is not much of a mark-up for GC so expect to pay around that.
