You still need the rear camber kit. You're going to love them, trust me.

I was reading about the -/////[] washer bolt technique that should get me by right? Well I mean people have said yes it works out for a while. After christmas perhaps I'll have them on and buy ingalls rears. Leaving back to new york for 3 weeks. so I won't get a chance to install until after christmas. Anyone in LA area want to come help me out with the install I'll buy them some beer, or a bottle of something.

Good thing it doesn't snow here in CA.

Any ideas for storing a car for a bit? I heard don't use the E brake, use some wedges instead. change your oil, fill up the tank, unplug the battery? Is that all? Any other suggestions are welcome.

You should also put your car on jack stands. I heard you can get flat spots on your tires. When I deployed for 6 months, I gave my keys to a friend and had him start the car about once a day and let it run for a few minutes. And once a week drive around the block.

You don't need the expensive rear camber kits. The bolt and washer style works fine. I bought the Ingalls off someone on the boards for $25-$30. I'm dropped about 2.75" and I'm within specs.

I didn't see that you're leaving for only 3 weeks. What you said will be fine to store your car.

CLpower. did you ever make it to the game on saturday? Was a great one, there were about 10 UCLA fans in the stands by the end of the 3rd quarter.

K perhaps just unplug ther batttery and an oil change that is due plus a fill up should be fine for me.

damn, we have to wait till after Christmas?

You know the routine, post pics when you get them on. At least you don't really have to worry about breaking them in, since they're used.

I'm trying to decide whether to go with the new Tein Basic setup, or just pony up the extra bucks for dampening and get the SS. These coilover sleeves are going to make my teeth fall out if I don't get rid of them soon!

how do I know how low to set the coilovers? Do I have put thrm on and then get car off of lift and if it doesn't look right put it back up and take them apart adjust and lower and check??

basically can I just jack the car up and raise or lower without removing assembly?

I think I have mine about 12-15 nothches up and I'm about 2.75" drop (Don't take my word on that though but I'm pretty sure).

You can set them anyway you like, you don't even have to take tires off if you have stock tires. There isn't enough room to get to my coilovers with the tires I have. But all you need to do is, use the wrenches that came with the tein's and adjust the 2 rings to the way you like them. make sure the rings are snug against each other. And make sure to count the notches so everything lines up right.

Do I make sense? It's been a long day.
