I would highly recommend a rear camber kit to save your tires. Otherwise you will be getting new ones every 2 months.

YOOO mucho importante... when u do the rear, disconnect the sway bar links ON BOTH SIDES then continue the remove and install...make the final step re-conecting the sway bar links.

if u completly do one side, ur sway bar will be sitting higher then ur stock side that u havnt done yet. and when u go the disconnect the sway bar on the other side it will suck balls. basicaly.

other then that its super easy.

n i got the ingalls rear chamber. also easy install.

good luck homie

This.

HT-Spec Coilovers are built by F&F to HT's specs, and come with the proper tophat to fit the TL
