Thats pretty cool!

I'm curious if the steering feels much heavier with the 8" wheels over the 7" ones you used to have.

I cant really tell a difference. I went from a 205/50/16 to a 205/55/15. A little more sidewall.

[wheee!]

Hey Matt, how did you set your camber on the BC coilovers? Before installation? Can you make adjustments without removing them as I see you didn't cut your strut towers....

I initially installed them at the "0" mark. I ended up adjusting the rears 2 degrees in. You have to raise the car, unbolt the coilover at the strut housing, then adjust it with an allen wrench. Not the easiest but once its set, its done.

[wheee!]

Any particular reason you didn't trim the towers?

[HaZmatt]

Mainly because the paint and interior were already finished. If I was to do it again, I would've done the 4 bolt camber plates before I painted the car.

[wheee!]

What advantage is there in the four bolt other than greater range? Stronger?

I would think the extra bolt holes would weaken the strut tower top...

[HaZmatt]

Greater range, convenience mostly. I haven't read any reports of drilling extra holes weaken the tops or not. 

[wheee!]

Oh and what shocks came with the coilovers? They're not listed on the JPN garage site

Not sure. Probably a no name brand that BC bought.
