OK... This one is more for the Doc. I know you know the answer to this..

OK for evil I am running Hi Lo setup and spax lowered gas adj shocks..

1. Do I need to use a lowered shock top mount? or can you use the standard top mounts?
If running lowered shocks on a lowered car you use the stock mounts.
Doc
2. Top arms.. Did you say it was better to use wet top arms insted of the dry ones? If so. what has to be changed? anything? or is it a straight swap?
Straight swap, but while the arm is off, drill the shock/bumpstop mounting hole out to 3/8" in a bench drill. Use a sharp drill and low speed and cutting oil. Trust me, these arms are hard.

3. Rear camber. should I go :

a. standard
b. fixed 1.5deg neg camber
c. adj. neg. camber
1* fixed, I reckon 1.5 is too much for a road car.
Thanks in advance

Cody

I;m sure Kevin will clarify what I say...but anyway... Using dry suspention exchange the the top arm to a Wet Arm instead....the only modifiactoin is the pin needs to be changed and this is by drilling out the old hole to fit. Rear...I believe it 1.5 degree fixed Prefered

Cody, I just modify the standard brackets.. File or mill the shaft hole upwards 5.0mm, weld up bottom of hole, file that until shaft goes back in and Bingo! you've got yourself about 1.2* neg camber. And, they are far more robust than those pissweak adjusting brackets, which once adjusted you never move anyway. <edit> before performing this trick, get a 4 wheel alignment check. Often you find one side is quite different to the other. One side of Ha-Ha I had to file 7.0mm....
