For all of you doing the rear camber install using the SPC kit, I would highly recommend that you elongate the toe bolt hole as recommended. If you don't do this, you won't be able to take full advantage of the adjustment range.

I installed the VS-xx's today as some of you know from Facebook. I think my best bet for now is get Janik's springs, and run those till I get coil overs. The front just sits up too high at stock height.
And I need to roll my fenders.

I would agree Tevi...but to go off that, installing them yourself, you figure out you'd have to be retarded not to dremel it out. Installing the rear camber kits WITHOUT dremelling out literally will not even allow you to adjust your toe at all because of the angle.

I have my front and rear kits completely maxed out.

Have any of you guys done the elongating? The kit came with the directions and template but I'm having a hard time visualizing what the hell I'm supposed to be doing without actually being under there to see.

Its pretty easy.. just trace the template and drill it out and take a smooth file and make sure the bolt slides in and out..you will prolly like that part the most..

Lance, I was showing one of my employees, Tou, all the cars rolling down to mia and he saw your pic and said he knows you. He said his wife Jaea used to work for you at the other branch. He said he has never seen your car and had no idea you will into cars.. me and him always talk cars.

He said all he has seen you drive is that crappy impala.

LOL!!!!!!!! holy sh8t!! Small world man!! Yeah, Jaea was one of my tellers at my old branch!! Tou is about to be a daddy then!? He came into the branch sometimes and just hung out while they would close up shop at the end of the day. That's hilarious he said that about my Impala. I never once took the G there since there was no way for me to even get into the parking lot.

Ride quality is horrible with the Works on. The main problem is the fronts. The tires are stretched too much. When I take corners the left knocks like crazy.

The question is can he run a bigger tire? With an 11" front I would think yuou would be close to the spindle or whatever they call that on these cars lol...

When I left work early today a very fortunate sequence of events were set in motion .....


This led me to the body shop to get an estimate to get my rear bumper (lyd scratched it pretty bad with garbage cans last summer) and front fenders painted. I figured I would have to spend about 800 -1000 to paint all three parts. The fenders got scratches last year when I was putting on my front bumper( I learned my lesson and taped them up when fitting the Kuruma).

I pulled up to Abbra where I got my front bumper painted and the tech came out and looked at the rear bumper and then told me to pull around the back.. He spent about 30 min buffing out the bumper and it looks close to perfect now. I asked him how much to paint the front fenders and he said he wanted to try to buff it out. I thought the scratches were too deep; apparently not. 30 min later both front fenders were mint. I offered him lunch and he accepted.. hell of a deal for saving me almost a grand.

He started looking at my lights and noticed they still had haze on them and I told him I painted them and just have to get the haze off. He asked me if I wanted him to try.. Hell yeah was my answer. He actually sanded them both down with the air compressor and some 800 grit then polished them out.

They look brand new! Talk about customer service. Talk about right place at the right time :biggthumpu p:

Im smiling ear to ear right now.

Now I can just skip to getting my sways and strut bars and wait for my wheels and coils and its a wrap after my toe bolt install and fender roll.
