Btw, forgot to mention, not only did the bolt through the LCA into the shock sieze, the one attaching to the trailing arm did too. It got stuck in the bushing and after a hydraulic press couldn't push it out, i had to drill it out of the bushing (damn good job if i say so myself :P). Then I had to use vice grips to work the other part out of the trailing arm bolt. That took about an hour and the drilling took a good 2 hours. Kept on having to resharpen the bits and lube them up with oil...boy was it a lot of work. But definately worth it!

i bought the lowering kit from tokico. shocks and springs. the blue shocks are the hp series and it came with tokico red springs. the drop is suppose to be a 1.4 drop but my problem is that the front end of the car looks the same maybe a little higher and the back drop way more than 1.4 i can put three finger between the tire and wheel well lip in the front and only one in the back. plus i cant drive the car without the rear hitting the rear wheel well lip whenever i accelerate hard or taking a turn. i also install a camber kit on all four shocks and had the car alignment done. i have after market tires and rims on the car 17" tire size 205/40r17. i had to put back on the factory rims back on the rear so i can drive the car till i get it fix. i called tokico and the tec told me to take the camber kit off. that i dont need it with that small of a drop. is that true. any suggestion on how i can fix this problem... thanks

My camber is fine on this set-up, you can see my pics on a thread in sights and sounds. My rear and front drops are exactly the same...the front looks bigger, but when you measure it, the gaps are almost exactly the same.
