Installing coilovers
Trending Topics
It's already been mentioned but install your coils; then, install camber arms and bolts**
** Mark on the subframe the position of the OEM camber bolt (it's a small dot on the bolt). When you install the aftermarket bolt, line up the dot on its head to the one on the subframe. This way, you will be as close to the original specs before going in for an alignment; post coilover drop. **
Drive for two weeks, they'll settle another couple sixtheenths to a quarter inch. Take in for alignment
Done.
As for endlinks, OEM are cheap enough to just replace once they wear out; or, Moog is a good unit with grease zerks.

I know Slarti has Hotchkis installed with different options for end links attachement. Do you have aftermarket or even the RWD rear sway on your X @RMB5190 ?
