6 month update:
about 6 track days so far, and daily driving. Still has that little clunking noise but it hasnt got worse or louder. I'm completely unaware of the noise at this point driving now.

Freaking sucks. I can't tolerate suspension noise on a street car. Been there, done that and it's not worth plus it's annoying and makes the car feel cheap. I really wish someone could build a non-adjustable OEM strut hat with one more degree of camber. With these adjustable setups, there's no getting around the noise.

Any updates on noise? Just picked up some Apex 8.5 inch wide wheels and trying to find the best camber plates. I understand there will be some noise, but trying to get the ones with the least noise. I also like how most of the stock parts are compatible (boots, covers, etc).

the noise isnt that bad. But if you have really bad roads, i would avoid it all together.
Make sure your shop does a good job installing everything correctly and order new strut tower wax nuts. as far as what suspension settings, this all depends on you and your car. I would say start at -2.0 all around and close to .0 toe and go from there. If you search hard enough there are pics of our settings in the threads. I realized this is almost a year since my last post so here is an update: Everything is cool. I did hit a pot hole and get a new strut and associated parts. This seems to have removed even more of the little clinking i did have. I'd say where most ppl f' up is with the wax nut and reusing them. Avoid all together and use new to avoid any possible slippage. I am basically daily at -2.3 fr -2.1 rear with no spacers on apex ec7. fitment is in my profile on re71r 225.40.18 /255.35.18. I can add much more tire in the back because of this rears offset. I think its 58. I might try 265 rear and its matching front size (245? i think) next time. Car handles great, drives great. on a smooth road, no noise, let go off the wheel and it tracks perfect.

I live in Michigan, so we definitely have our share of bad roads. I don't think I have a choice but to put up with some kind of noise if I want what I need for the track. LOL |
