Just like the thread says:

I am putting this in:

GPR supplied the parts and did the setup for me. It has around 1 degree of negative camber as I am running Hoosier A6s. Bump steer kit also installed.

I also have their front sway bar, and will be installing that next.

Heh, I can sure tell I don't do this for a living. It took me a couple of hours to install and I still may take it apart again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If you go to a full 935 adjustable a-arm you can ditch the stock a-arm, save weight without it, and gain adjustability if you ditch the stock a-arm

also if you change springs for every event, or a couple of times a day it is slightly easier than changing torsion bars. (But really no 914 racers change spring rates for every event like a pro team would.)
