1low, do you have any problems with camber after you lowered your front end?

It's a tad negative,but doesn't wear uneven.IIRC it was barely out of spec.Eventually,I'll get the Ingalls cam'd strut bolts.

Cool. I took a page from you and cut two coils off my front springs and now my wheels look like they have a bit of negative camber so I was a little worried. If mines off it's not too bad. I'm just going to eventually get coilovers and go with that. It's about as pricey as all new shocks/struts. I'm just not sure if I should get Megan or K Sport.

Can u get a pic? im confused as to where i should put the led in license plate light

just when i put the eibach pro springs on my car the camber was off 3-4 degrees and the 2 hub bolt holes that bolt to the bottom of the strut had to be drilled out a little bit to even the camber up. and i'm considering picking up a buddies ss/tc shocks/ struts with sportlines if he decided to sell them when he gets his coilovers if the price is right

can't you get the focal in 4 lug too? would seem like a waste to do the 5 lug swap to get cheap rims imo

I wouldn't do a 5 lug swap for wheels,but more for brakes.Just my opinion.

The swaps being done for brakes, lsj front and rear with Powell bbk in front. The reason I was thinking the focals, could get 4 18s and 2 17s for same price or less than for others. Meaning drag radials or slicks
