    Did i miss anything??

    Wanted to get my suspension up to date, I think I have all I need, but I would like it if your guys looked it over before I order. I’m not looking for an extreme racing type suspension just something that will handle well. Also do I have stuff here that is not necessary?

    Maybe a set of IE rear camber adjustment bolts...allows rear camber adn toe adjustment, but is a weld-in kit.

      Thanks for the suggestion, would it be completely "necessary"? If so is there any DIY's on those?

        How about a bench vise and 3 foot pipe wrench to break the lock rings on your front struts free :)

          Just soak with PB blaster the night before. I got mine off by myself with 2 pipe wrenches. One on the housing one on the gland nut. They were rusted like crazy as well.

          Penetrating oil saves a lot of hassle.

            A punch and hammer, followed by vice grips (or the bilstein gland nut tool) will get it off without a problem.

                If you must have camber plates on the street, the above is what I would use. Anything more is overkill (ie. unnecessary range of adj. and unjustified $).

                Remember, once you set camber and get the car aligned, you're not supposed to change your settings.

                  Thanks for replay and yes I know once the car is aligned I should not change the settings. "If you must have camber plates" you don't have camber plates? If not how bad is the tire wear?
