What do you mean?
I love those "snap any moment while applying 80 lbs./ft" torque wrenches. Who wouldn't?
But I do recommend the MAC click style torque wrenches.
Anyway torque smorque.....install that stuff already

So I did the rear and now all that is left is the front. hypothesis was that the back would get another 1/4 inch with full tank and indeed my preminition came true. Rear with 3/4 tank of gas + 2 12 inch subs + MDF box and amps = a 1/4" more of drop. Here are the pics.

Sorry for my hand being in the way but I had to block the reflection of the flash or else you wouldnt be able too see the pics..
Does anyone know the torque specs on the bolts that hold the ingalls rear camber kit in place??

I bought some sears spring compessors and they are great..
I also bought some deep metric sockets , a set of metric open end wrenches and some metric allen wrenches. 190.00 in total not bad for some tools I'll be using in the near future..

My camera charged up so I took a couple of close up of the four wheel wells. one of the pics came out a little higher, so the angle makes the front look a bit uneven but its good..

Well My impressions on the drop is:
The front left squeaks a bit But the handling is better than stock. The ride is very close to stock But you feel the bumps a little more. some times it gets a little uncomfortable but hey Thats the price you pay when you drop a car. I really dont know what could be causing the squeak, its very annoying.

You might enjoy the cars handling even more if you zero out the rear toe and increase the toe out in the front to -.16 TOTAL TOE OUT
You just need to find a shop that will do a custom alignment to your desired spec.
