Re: suspension question

There's a way to ghetto-rig anything if you really want to, but I'm not so sure I'd trust just a "bolt and some washers" over an actual kit. Suspension isn't an area that I like to cut corners on. Just my 2 cents.

Re: suspension question

I totally agree with you, but in all actuality a rear camber kit consiste of bolts washers and a couple funny looking brackets. As long as you use a high grade bolt you should be fine, espically when a kit is $80 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ingal...QQcmdZViewItem

Re: suspension question

Yeah, I'm just the kind of person that doesn't worry about cost on suspension parts, I like to have peace of mind. I've seen too much "ghetto-rigged" shit go wrong, causing more problems and costing more money than the original real part would have cost.

Re: suspension question

Drive it up to mn and I'll do it for you lol. Any place that you trust would be good. Remember, its not the name on the front of the building that makes it good, its the people inside.

totally agree. on most alignment machines you can swap the metal "nails" for plastic ones.
but to take another turn on this, what about "optomized" springs. because i have seen spring sets that are for specific vehicles to maximize it's springs. if i could afford coilovers i figured ild try them... mostly because i dont want to screw something up with just lowering springs god knows ild have to buy those damn spacers to lift everything back up if i go too low (cuz some of those kits are expensive.

Re: suspension question

Lowering springs wont really hurt a whole lot as long as you get aftermarket shocks with them, lowering with the stockers leads to early blow outs of the shocks. I want to get some adjustable coil overs but its pretty low on my list right now
