Really? What kind do you have? As far I know, all the brands generally available to usdm have no camber adjustment.

when you put the bilstein PSS coilover, did you need to put camber bolt on it? or is it not necessary?

For anyone that had to swap stock components to the new coilovers what were they? Any help would be awesome.

for Tein Basis Coilovers on a GE8, anyone have pictures of it slammed all the way? i have the Eibach Sportlines (1.8F~2.0R) and i wanna go maybe half an inch or an inch lower. i would like coilovers, but i'm not really looking forward to spending over $1300 cus shipping to hawaii would kill me.

Depends on the member of course. Though those members are in a very small minority.

This has been a very informative thread, it provided me with a great basis to embark my Jazz coilover research and eventual selection for it.

Thumbs up fellas

I have the Tein Street Advance coilovers. I like them. I have them set at +4 clicks hard front and rear and its pretty comfortable.

@ EvilOne
My mate has the rest, he'll be here on the 12th May 2012. had to keep the first parcel under 20Kg. International shipping have weird incremental weight policy.

I have chocolate here (Tim Tams) am waiting to send to a friend in NY, $230 to send $44 worth of chocolate as much as the suspension from Japan.

Back to suspension chatter, I originally was going for the Silk Roads, then I asked about the Cusco 2's since they ran softer springs and found them to be similar in pricing.

Hopefully will have them installed by end of May due to busy schedule. Wife won't let me play with the weekend warrior motorcyclists till I get the suspension done. My motor insurer won't insure me if I supercharge the Jazz that was disappointing.
