Just received and mounted my Gravana/Monarch J2s staggered. Because I am cheap and work for the city I kept the oem tires on all four corners. You can tell ont he rear that the tire does not fit quite right, but nobody will ever notice just glancing at it. I love the wheels and have received a lot of compliments on them. Just want to tell everyone that buying the whels through Gravana tuning was a pleasant experience with fast shipping.
Next up: lowering, exhaust, high flow cat, vector chip. then going racing.
ordering some springs this week and will attempt to post pics then, assuming the weather holds out and i can wash it, don't wanna embarrass myself with a dirty car
thanks a lot for the compliments, i appreciate it.
the dash probably looks better in pictures than in real life, but it looks fine up close. I took it off the car and took it to a local autobody shop and had them spray it. Pretty good experience with the whole thing as they only charged me $50 bucks. I'm gonna buy a new dash panel and have another try at it with better base coat and a few clear coats. they didn't spray it with any additives so there is slight spiderwebbing on the left side and one bubble near the foglight button.
not really on the topic of the thread, but i suppose it's okay to hijak my own thread
just ordered my kappasphere.com Eibach lowering springs today. I was gonna order some springs from gravanatuning.com because i like their customer service, but i liked the look of these. we'll see after they get installed. i'll post pics sometime next week.
goin in for springs and alignment tomorrow morning. I'll post pictures when I pick her up. fora nyone that has the 1" fron 1.4" rear Eibach kit, did you need to order a camber adjustment kit to re-align the car? one alignment place told me that the solstice has factory adjustable camber at all four corners, the second place told me that that is not true. the kit is cheap enough, but want to see if I can get by without it.

any answers/opinions are appreciated
I believe when they aligned my car, they were able to adjust camber on all four corners.

You can adjust the camber individually at all four corners, there is no need for a camber kit with the Solstice. In fact after doing a bunch of alignments on Solstices/Sky's I am not sure where you would actually put a "camber kit" like you see for strut cars like the MINI's we do.

thanks for the quick replies, its gonna be fun seeing my list of future mods go into the list of completed mods. like th other guys are always saying, it's hard to quit once you start.
seems like a good group of people on this forum, too bad I live in ND and am not very close to anyone else for a good group drive or show n shine. oh well, its kinda nice being from a small city where people think its some sort of exotic expensive car.
