Pre-slotted? What does that mean?
The strut mounts will be drilled out more vs. the way they are manufactured so you can move/tilt the strut a mm at a time to add more negative camber.

typically 1-2mm = 1 degree of negative camber...

Under heavy track use, or in racing they do slip, this is by experience.

I would recommend camber plates as the best alternative.

Oh yeah. I have never done this mod. Always bought camber plates.

Just like I have the Steeda ones now on my S550:D

Ah, got it. So "slotted" not "pre-slotted". That's like saying "pre-owned car". It's used. No ifs ands or buts. :lol::lol:;)

Anyway, no way would I want that unless there was some way to lockout the slot such that there was no chance of it slipping.

David I saw that you guys have a set of non-adjustable shocks and struts now. Where do they fall on the soft-stiff range of the adjustable ones?

They are approximately 1.5 turn off soft on the Steeda adjustable Pro Action.

Thanks for getting back to me! I know ride is a very subjective thing but how would that be for a daily driver? No plans to take the car to the track. I got a base model but test drove the PP car before buying and thought that car was very comfortable.

I presently have my Pro-Action shocks set at 1.5 turns with my Steeda Ultralite springs. Daily driving is BMW-like. Only complaint is that for some reason Atlanta hasn't created a 'wildcatgoal' lane for only me. Some holdup in the tax code I gotta work out.

In the near future would I be able to buy just the rears? I have koni in front but because I got two for price of one brand new. I want to eventually switch to steeda with the he steeda camber plates but atleast sooner than later the rears.

Let me check into that for you ... I will have to confirm with manufacturing whether or not we can handle that request.

I will let you know as soon as I hear back.

Best Regards,
