You guys need to come over and help me raise it a little. I almost took by bumper off TWICE today and camber numbers are not helping me either. I need to raise it a bit until I buy camber kit... Come over on thursday, I am off..

 

Don't go anywhere. Let me look it up.

 

Front specs -1.0 to 1.0
Actual Right is at -3.3
Actual Left is at -2.4


Rear specs -1.5 to 0.5
Actual right is at -2.0
Actual left is at -2.7


I am pretty sure it will chew up my tires really quick..



And please if you can provide any links where to get the kits, please let me know..

 

i got all of mine on ebay...

for camber, i'm running about -1.5 in the front and -1.1 in the rear. toe is -0.01. tire wear is nice and even.

whats your toe? toe is what kills your tires...

 

Front toe specs -0.12 to 0.04
Actual right is at -0.01
Actual left is at -0.07

Rear toe specs 0.04 to 0.20
Actual right is at 0.03
Actual left is at 0.11

 

So these should work right..

Rears

Fronts

 

the rears look fine. i haven't heard good things about ingalls, go spc for adjustable ball joints, they are beefier

 

Who gives a fuck?! We all can tell it's shitty!! .

~Cheers~

 

damn that shit is dumped. lol

btw that firestone you took the car to sucks. Although it is adjusted within range, the toes still varies from side to side. the firestone I go to always gets both sides in the middle of the range and the same for both sides.

 

Damn that shit is dumped!

What are the official drop numbers?

 

Yes it is dumped and it is no fun to drive like this...

 

So I am about to order camber kits just wanted to make sure I am ordering right parts.

looks good to me...good price for the fronts, amazing price on the rears...

the rears you can put in yourself, lots of hammering if i recall but simple to do, just borrow a pickle fork from autozone or kragen

the fronts *can* be done by yourself but i didn't have any luck. i borrowed the ball joint puller kit from autozone but i could not pop them out. the while c-clamp assembly thing was just too unwieldy. maybe you or ken might have better luck. i had to take my car to a shop and they air chiseled those fuckers out and installed the front ball joints for me.

once they are in, you can adjust the camber yourself by eye and then take it in for a laser alignment.

 

Awesome info Andrew. I am going buying these right now. Hopefully the will be here early next week sometime. Do the fronts need to be pressed in?

 

yes, you do it by tightening the one nut (huge 22mm) and it secures the top and bottom halves together. that should press it in. but on my car i can eventually work them out, its been fine so far.

if you are attempting this yourself, jack the front up, remove both tires, remove the three bolts that hold each of the shock mounts in the engine bay. this lets the front drop an extra bit more by preventing the swaybar from keeping the other side up. wedge a piece of wood between the top of the inner wheel well and the front control arm to bring it down a bit more, the bushing will want to bring the arm back up so the wood is to keep it so you can see what your are doing. then clamp away. good luck

i'll be in the city tonight and on the 26th.

Right.

 

45% on the windshield? Legal?

 

Tint on the whole windshield is not legal anywhere in the US.

 

What Mike said...

Its helpful in hot summer days..

 

Tint is helpful during the summer.

My friend has tint all around his car and it is cooler in there during the summer.

This is how I was rolling for few weeks. It was pain to drive around like this but it looked

 

Driving is fun now..
Going fast around turn is whole lotta fun.

 

new sleeves only or sleeves and camber kits?

needs more low

 

Its only new sleeves on the back. I got camber kits yesterday, I'll be installing those next week sometime. I am waiting to see if these settle down anymore to go any lower. I am definatly going to the drop rear a bit more.

 

That last pic is gangster.

 

That's the one I took, . I yelled at desired_speeds to stop as he was pulling it up, because that angle caught my eye.
