Hi Im about to install coilovers and just wanted to know if s2k's have stock adjustable camber arms? cause my rims might need a little bit of tucking in haha... and are there any good diy installation guides for coilovers?

Cheers.

yes, camber is adjustable from stock.
diy installation can be found on s2ki.com

but suspension is pretty much remove bolts that attach to oem suspension, then reattach them on the new one :P

You may need to get nuts to fit over the standard bolts also, as the stock shocks have the nut welded into the bracket, and coilovers only have a straight-through hole. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward, you may/may not need to release your links, so have an allen key set lying around (5mm from memory). You'll need 19mm deep socket, 17mm deep socket, 14mm deep socket, 14mm spanner, a breaker bar to get it all going gravy.

PS. Remember to preload it before you torque everything tight..

Peace.

Nah just remove your guard liner if its scraping at the front, if its scraping the rear roll the guards and trim the rear bar.

how do you "trim" the rear bar? is that like relocating bumper tabs? does anyone know how to do this or is there a diy guide?

You only need the spacers after you get a vibration. Or cheaper option is just swap left to right

It's bes to swap the CV buckets from left to right OR get spacers when you finally set your preferred height (and it starts vibratin)
