So all you had to do was redrill the front lower where it bolts to the hub and drill out the top hat a little bit? Those wheels look really good on there!

For the front yes all i had to do was drill new hole and drill out top hat a bit. the rears i had to grind the bottom bushing a bit so it would slide in.

where the lower bolt mounts in the rear you said you had to grind a bit off the sides of the bushings to get them to slide in because they were too wide? was the sleeve inside of the bushing the same internal diameter as one in a oem style festy/aspire strut ( so it wont clunk over bumps? im considering the purchase of a set of these for my aspire. I know you mentioned an obvious alignment was needed, just a thought ive seen the adjustable camm bolt kit available on ebay and i think even moog makes one to replace one of the strut to knuckle bolts to provide a camber adjustment. i just thought id mention it if it were helpful for you

Right now i'm in the process of finding somthing to shim the rear bolt because the diameter is different. I think I have a idea to fix my problem and I will post info on that later to. Plus by tomorrow I will have a go-pro HD movie and that way everyone can see how it drives.

Is there not a coil over kit that is a straight fit?

You car looks awesome btw, I wasn't sure about the wheels, but I take it back. "old skool" 5 stars are look awesome.
