Car got all aligned this morning, and I finally got to drive the car 16 miles home. I am surprised with how the "drag" specific coil springs ride and handle. I know I changed every suspension part available, but the car is very tight and balanced. There are a couple new noises but nothing I didn't expect.
The springs are starting to settle, and am pretty happy with it. The rear springs don't have a drop measurement and Eibach says they vary. I wanted to leave the rear camber at 0ish but the rims are right on the edge of the fender. So I had them set at -1 and I'll pray traction isn't an issue for now. After parking on some various uneven ground, I was able to get the rear tires up, and with that camber they barely make it into the wheel well clean.
I was also able to get the drag radials mounted on the beadlock rims. I brought them with me to get the car so he was able to balance them. They took a little more weight than I like, but he said it was very common with beadlock wheels. Almost 10oz total added. Nearly negating the 12oz savings of replacing the 42 beadlock bolts with Titanium.
