Sweet! That's exactly what I'm thinking about doing. My problem is that I HATE negatve camber, I don't care how much it helps cornering. You say the ride didn't change much, how about the negative camber? Also, how about the cost...and where you got em'. Did someone charge you a pretty penny to put em' on? Thanks for any reply.

Andrew

Andrew,

it took 4 billing hours, but he only bills $38 per hour, so a total of $160 w/ tax. I haven't had it aligned yet..haven't had time. It seems to look about where I wanted it. any lower would be kind of dumb.

Scot

Looks good Scot. Ditto, where are your Volks? $160 ain't bad, the lowest I've found is $110 to put on springs.

I don't really like the knuckleheads who work on cars and
just drop the wheels after removing them... so... i
put the stockers back on just in case they decided to F' up
my wheels, I wouldn't care nearly as much...

PLUS.... these tires are almost gone, so I can be Scot the
drifting race car driver when the opportunity arrises.

Scot

Volks will return when the rear tires are burned off completely.

Looks Great, I think I'm gonna do this as soon As I can get my car out of the driveway
Do you think the ground clearance in the front is still acceptable?

Too much more than 1" and you'll run out of throw on the adjustment. [/B]
Thanks RT, just what I needed to know.
