The instructions actually suck for the Steeda gear. So far the best resource has been the LMR installation video.
First issue: camber plates.
There is no mention of how to use the little inserts for camber plates... without them everything is loosey goosey so I figure they need to be used... but when using them with the fixed pro-action struts there is hardly any room for the nut on the top:
Simulated without the camber plate to see how little room there is:
If this is normal... I won't worry about it. I am using the nut from the struts NOT the nylock nut from the camber plates because the nylock part doesn't even engage the threads (the nut is too tall compared to the remaining thread on the post.
Second issue: ultralite linear springs in the top rubber isolator... see photos (the spring does not fit properly)
I read and re-read the instructions over and over. It strictly says that the spring should be oriented with the larger diameter opening at the TOP, ignoring the text on the spring. Steeda is upside down but I don't care. The spring fits well in the bottom rubber isolator, but really looks fucky in the top.
I'm hoping once under the weight of the car things will settle down and fit better? I've heard other folks complaining about this and saw somewhere that it had been resolved.
