Alignment done...I did need my front camber kit...
I had my car aligned today. The toe was the worst thing of all. As some of you may know I have skunk2 coilovers and koni adjustable shocks. The new shocks could have also been the major factor in the specs being off. Overall it wasn't as bad as I thought. With the rear camber kit, I try to eyeball it :D I was good on the rear right, but the rear left was way off. I knew it was when I had finished installing the camber kit. Any way. As for the front I feel I needed it to get closest to specs, as I have 17's and don't feel like ripping through tires. The handling of the car is tons better! Here's a pic of the specs, the top part is before, the bottom part is after the alignment. Oh and as for my drop, I raised it a bit more from the last time. I have one finger gap in the front and just a tad more than a finger gap in the rear. I can just barely move my finger from the top of the tire to the fender in the rear. I'll take pics of the drop later on in the week when I get my parts I ordered and the tint is ready. (the shop installed some tint that takes about 7 days for bubbles to disapper)
how much did it cost u??:o
well here's the shitty part. It was supposed to cost 60 bucks. But I didn't have the front kit installed yet. So they call me and tell me the front is screwed and I need a kit for it. I tell them I have one in the car they can use and it's just a bolt for each side. They say they don't install out of office partsOriginally posted by ep88

I could have done it cheaper, but I was tired of driving all over this crazy traffic and I have other things to do, so they go the best of me. The front kit cost about 40 bucks and the rear is about 117. I bought the rear from www.importhorizon.com and bought the front from someone online that didn't need it.
hmmm, ima have my alignment probably tomorrow. i went to this shop in san mateo, they quoted me for 230 :D he just made me laughoohh btw, i also bought my camber kit at import horizon :)
holy crap! 230, forget that! that's rediculous, unless they are at least providing and installing the camber kit, but since you bought it yourself, screw them!Originally posted by ep88

Importhorizon seems to have the best prices...for the few things they have for our car.
i know! he said it'll be 130 for the camber kit adjustment and 100 for the alignment haha:D assh*le. that just made my day
glad to see you were able to make good use of the camber kit
Just wondering what size drop did you do and what size is your 17"s? When I put my Tein S springs with about a 1 1/2" in I want to make sure I get the right tires on my car so I do not have fender rub. I know I am going to have the get a camber kit for both the front and the rear too.
I'm not sure about the drop, I only know the finger gaps that I have that I stated above. I'll take some pics, maybe tomorrow so you guys can see about how low I am. I'm not slammed anymore.Originally posted by siver-SI

Here's the rear gap
I got a question for ya. I'm installing my springs and camber kit on Friday. How does the rear camber kit get installed? I'm pissed I payed 140 for just the rears...
okay, it's pretty simple for the rear. There are two bolts that go up into the car, from the bottom. And then there is one that goes into the control arm.Originally posted by Si02

To uninstall, the easiest way, is to take out the one bolt in the control arm first. To releave pressure off that area, I just used a jack and lifted the rotor up a little to releave the stress. The reason you want to do this is to make sure you don't strip the bolt when you take it out, they're pretty strong, but just to be safe.
Then remove the two bolts that are left in the bottom of the car. These will be so easy to uninstall since that one bolt is out.
Then to resintall put the two bolts in first...makes it way easier, and get them snug, but not fully tightened. The use the jack again to line up that one bolt and slide it through and tighten it down. Torque all three bolts to 43lbs.
oh, almost forgot, here's the install on k-series.comOriginally posted by Si02

That's exactly how I did mine.
