Adjustable ball joint & control arm installed... PICS!!

Just installed an SPC adjustable ball joint & rear camber control arm last weekend

before the install i took my car to get aligned

and for the front camber readings i got:

Left: -1.0
Right: -1.1

and for the rear camber readings i got:

Left: -1.6
Right: -1.2

i hoping that this week i'll get time to bring it in to bring my camber readings back to 0

here's some pics of the front adjustable ball joint:





here's a pic of the rear camber control arms with pre-installed ball joint:



believe it or not it was pretty EASY!! got it done at a Military auto hobby shop... they had all the tools and it cost me $16 for tool & stall rental

I used a kit to remove the OEM ball joint from the upper control arm in the front

The control arm in the rear is an aftermarket part... (SPC)

you can check out www.spcperformance.com for all their parts

no... i didn't feel any change. pretty much the same ride as before.

yeah i recommend them if you lowered your car & ur wheels are tilting inward.

it's the B+G S3 coilovers. B+G used to sell them for the 2.5 & 3.2s but they don't anymore because the spring rate they used for both applications were wrong! I called their customer service and had to wait like 3 months before getting the right spring rate for my 2.5.
