Installing my shocks/springs

[rock0134]

I just got my tokico shocks and lowering springs and my friend and I are going to put them on in the next few days at his shop. Im guessing im going to have to get a camber kit? since its a 1.5" drop. I dont have the money to get a good front and rear camber kit right now, so my question is can i put the shocks and springs on now and the camber kit later? I will not be driving the car at all after until spring time so is the installation of the camber kits something you can do without taking the shocks off?

Also he has a laser alignment can that correct camber at all because we will be doing that too.

I would buy a front camber kit and check tuners for a ~$15 DIY camber kit. That's what I would do. You won't want to tear the front suspension apart a 2nd time to do a camber kit again. It's much, much easier to do it all at once.

What about the rear??

[gthompson97]

What about it? Do it at the same time as the shocks/springs.

Do you have to take everything apart on the back too to put the camber kit in?

Where can I get a good camber kit for front and rear pretty cheap

[gthompson97]

You should be able to get camber kits anywhere. I think I used Ingalls, I know Eibach makes them, but there are alot more too. Maybe check ebay, otherwise an online parts store should have them, or google "Eclipse Camber Kit" and you should get some good ones.

EDIT: Machv.com makes some good ones, but they're extremely expensive. I just found some good ones at RRE, extremely decent price and if they're from RRE, they must be good. The only thing I don't like about the RRE front ones is that they aren't adjustable like others, so it's just one setting.

Does that front and rear look legit?

[gthompson97]

Ehh I'm not too sure about those. Those fronts aren't adjustable, and the back just looks like sheetmetal. If I were you, I'd eat a little more money and get the similar ones from RRE, that way you know they're legit. But then again, it's your car and your money, but I wouldn't want one of those front bushings to go bad at 70mph and eat shit in the ditch.

hmm... that could be an important part of it, the whole it fitting part

Take pictures of what?

Just e-mail who you tend to order them from and ask them. I'm 90% sure that they are the same, but I don't want to tell you that and then you order them and they're different.

[rock0134]

Haha thanks man, I emailed them.. hopefully they respond soon cuz i wanna get this done.

I have the Tokico shocks and spring combo and I just got an alignment done and my tires wear evenly so you may just see what your alignment is at before investing in the camber kit.
