diy springs?
just want to clear some things up...
1) in the ground control diy, it says you have to cut the perch or whatever, do you have to do this with springs?
2) also, on this one diy spring thread, someone was talking about keeping track of the angle measurements(before you remove the struts) what measurement is he talking about?
3) this one site says to they torqued it to manufacture's specifications... what are they? can i just tighten it as tight as i can?
4) i'm most likely getting eibach sportlines n dont really want to get a camber kit. would my tires wear out twice as fast if i dont get it? or is it only a small extra tire wear?
i think thats it for now...

Rep Power: 0 1) No, it just lowers ur car more and gives ( i think) a little softer ride
2) Possibly angle(camber) of the tire? I have no idea someone else can get this one
3) Tighten away, ALL bolts on a car have torque specifications, about the only ones you REALLY need to worry about are like engine head bolts stuff of that nature. Just don't use an air wrench on ur struts, allenkey and regular wrench
4) No, what are those 1.6"?? You shouldn't need to esp if you have aftermarket rims like 17" or so cuz they are harder cuz they have higher psi, if you get say progress 2" ull need rear camber kit definatly. And it will wear the inside of ur tires out(closest to the center) fastest cuz that will be pushed harder against the ground.
Hope this helps
