I just ordered my HE's they will be here next monday. im looking into getting the front pillow tension rods and rear upper control arms from project silvia. they have the best prices i seen yet. i know i need the upper control arms to adjust rear camber, i was wondering what other parts are likely to break that i should replace now like tie rods since ill have stiff suspension but stock parts?

thanks,dennis

if everything is still good under the car, you dont "have" to replace anything. I would reccomend getting a set of rear adjustble upper arms, strut bars and sway bars though.-chet

i bought HE's and went autocrossing for the first time.....man it was hella fun.... :D i'm definately doing it again....

btw i only bought the tein's, nothing else. but it would be wise to purchase rear upper control arms. my car is set at 25" in the front and 25.5" in the rear from the ground to fender. the front was able to adjust the camber to 0 but the back has a slight negative camber.....be getting the control arms this weekend, still doing some research......let me know what you decide on?

you want a bit of negative camber, esspecially for autocross, try running -1 degree in the rear, and the same in the front for starters, your toe should be toed out more than usual(but still a bit positive for street driveability)..or jsut set the toe to factory spec.-chet
