On the backs though, make sure there is 1/4" between the center part and the two ends. Otherwise they won't be able to adjust it and you'll end up pulling the rear end back off to fix it. Here's a picture if you don't understand what I'm saying. _____________________________ (in reply to jhsplaya08) Post #: 31

Start calling around now to find a shop that will do it. I'm sure some big national chain stores won't even touch it, since it's not factory. Another reason I think camber kits are unnecessary _____________________________ Driving takes 3 abilities: Accelerating+braking+turning. More power only helps acceleration. Lower weight helps all 3.

RE: my new stuff (UPDATE) - 3/31/2007 6:36:02 AM    mybrokenblinker Posts: 2344 Joined: 8/28/2006 Status: offline It's the bolts you have to take out, you may get lucky, but more then likely you will have to saw them off.  In which case you need new bolts (they're like 7 bucks each where I got them)  I needed 4 of them. _____________________________ ROTOZEY19111 (2:40:30 PM): I bought a bigass can of seafoam TRANNY treatment ROTOZEY19111 (2:40:51 PM): and put that in my crankcase (in reply to jhsplaya08) Post #: 39

RE: my new stuff (UPDATE) - 3/31/2007 8:07:51 AM    Schimmel03   Posts: 79 Joined: 8/9/2006 Status: offline Ok, the bolts in green are easy to take out and the ones in red are going to be a PITA. Chances are you'll have to cut the one for the camber kit out but with enough heat, pb blaster, and more heat the strut one should come loose. "SHOULD". I can't express enough how much heat and pb blaster will help. AND DON'T USE AN IMPACT!! It'll just round off the head. Use a breaker bar and the 14mm socket.
