[Tungsten6]

oh, hell no! give me $400 and i'll come down and do it for you right now...!

 

[Tungsten6]

this may or may not be a dumb question but would you need the camber links with those?

they are optional depending on how much flexibility you want/need with your rear camber.

I see that you made it onto MOCC! You should do like everyone says, and hit up Gramps Garage for the install. I work with Gramps all the time, and he's the one that taught me how to do these installs.

I also noticed pics of my car on this thread... Shweeeet. hahaha.

If you plan on lowering more than an inch i'd do rear camber links.

 

[Tungsten6]

yea thats what i thought.... s*** another 200 bucks :/

 

[not yellow]

the lower you go the more neg camber you get. i am maxed in the rear with no camber links which leaves me stuck at -2.5. it's fine by me but not everyone wants that kind of alignment.

 

[RichB]

What are the stock specs? -1.0 in the rear?

+1 for Tony. He does great work and knows his stuff.

all the factory recommended alignment specs are withing a certain range of degrees. factory rear camber is supposed to fall between -.7 and -2.7. so at -2.5 i'm actually within range, difference is that this is the least amount of camber i can get with my setup.

 

[Tungsten6]

personally i dont wanna be that low. i mean i could do springs and strut combo but by the time i buy everything i might as well get coilovers...

this would be the height i would want (maybe a weee bit lower) these are H&R springs

Edit: bad news... for the mocc guy.


My dad doesn't want me driving down to long beach, and he doesnt trust people off the internet. So hes making me go to a shop.

Does $379 WITH alignment sound like a lot?

 

[Tungsten6]

that sucks dude,

379 doesnt sound HORRIBLE but it doesnt sound as good as having a few guys over from the forum and paying for lunch or something like that.

s*** if he is making you take it to the shop make him pay half or something like that.

Yeah. Thats why I let him lol He told me hed pay for it, but I feel bad making him pay that much. Im putting in 150 though so its not too bad for him
