Just installed my Hayame coilovers
Well, just got it done. Install was pretty easy thanks to everyone on this site. Had one lower bolt on the rear, the one that holds the shock on, that was a pain in the *** to get off, but only that one bolt, unfortunatly i didn't have access to air tools
I was glad I waited till everyone had worked out the bugs with the V2, i.e. flipping the tie rod, etc.
I was happy with the drop, 2 fingers all the way around. I got a Kaminari kit, and that front lip hangs low, besides the roads in NH suck! So I kept it safe. I love the way these coilovers handle! Corners are almost as fun as on my motorcycle!
I also installed the Eibach front camber kit, and the Ingalls rear. these are my alignment readings:
front left toe = 0
front right toe = 0
front left camber = 0
front right camber = 0
rear left toe = .10
rear right toe = .10
rear left camber = -.2
rear right camber = -1.3
does that sound right? I was wondering why the diff. in camber between the right and left, i forget what the tolerences are for our cars - i have a 2001 EX coupe.
Overall i like these a lot. I can feel every little crack in the road, and the ride seems a little giggly, maybe I dont have enough preload, but other than that, I would recomend them, for the price their great.
If you jack the car up, so all the weight is off the springs, how many turns do you have on the spring, front and rear? Im wondering if I have the right amount of preload?

Congratulations, I suppose you dont have the 'wiggle' issues or you havent found out about it, yet. Keep checking the locking perch.
Your alignment, the difference between your camber settings (L or R) are kinda high.
I can live with -1.2 R and -1.1 L but not the way yours are off.
