I saw some kid in a cavalier today with euro taillights and the SS/SC spoiler put on... it was pretty funny.

Don't worry about it. Doesn't look like anyone wants it. Too bad i didn't hear about this before everyone got their headers.

Yea we tried our best to align it back up, although it isn't that bad right now.

Where did everyone get their sway bars from?

I saw the Suspension technique kit on CA, but i was wondering if anyone has ordered from them and got raped with duty fees and such?

If you order anything from the USA you are going to get raped on duty charges.

the spring install would only take me about 45mins to an hour, if i have all the right tools with me! haha


SOOOO.. when we figure out a day to do the installs,i will go get:

-spring compressors, arent needed, but help.
-Pickle fork, damn tie rods!
-electric impact gun (thinking i might ask for 20.00 from each install, to help pay for it)

On about $250 bucks you will pay about $30 in brokerage fees, and you can use that as a baseline. Your best bet is to ship to your place of business, that way you don't have to wait on multiple deliveries, and they will do cod for the brokerage fees. When ups shipped my dp, I just gave them a check.

If you're doin all the springs on the install day, I'll get my dads compressor and air tools.

Exactly. Go get the alignment now. Putting in new sway bars will do nothing to the alignment.
