Went to SSF last Saturday. Finally got to install my suspension. Nephew hooked me up! I had my fenders rolled previously, but he did a lot of additional massaging :) Koni Yellows all around, H&R Race springs, Turner fixed camber plates (thanks John), Rogue shock mounts, & Centric/EBC brakes.

So much room up front we actually set the camber plates back out to the most conservative spot on the strut towers.

Looking great! Let me know if you get a chance to measure the camber you get sometime. When I used the Turner fixed plates with stock ZHP springs, I believe I got about between -2.5 and -3.0 degrees front camber, depending where you set the plates in the strut tower slots.

New suspension really looks good! Are you running wheel spacers?

Wheels are 18x9.5 ET40 all around with 265/35-18 Bridgestone Potenza S-04s.

No spacers. Very close to the struts I will say.

What's your opinion on the rogue rsm's? Since koni yellows for the zhp have to be removed to adjusted the Rogue RSM looks like a much better solution than tearing your trunk apart every time you want to adjust the shock.

I can't speak for the Rogue RSMs, but there is a top adjustable Koni yellow shock available if you don't already have the non-adjustable units.

Yeah I really like the design of these. Would be very easy to remove the shock all from underneath. Awesome quality. I'd say one of the best $100 upgrades for our cars.
