Rep Power: 347

I'm about...10 minutes from going out to my car and starting on my dual-purpose install: lowering springs (bought from aznboysrfr...I finally got 'em yesterday) , And I'm also installing my SPC camber kit. I wanted to do both of them at the same time so I only have to pay for one alignment. Any words of advice or tidings of good luck are appreciated, and in about 2 hours (Beer break included in that estimate) there will be one more dropped 7th gen

First off, Thanks to Mex for the great DIY on this procedure

The fronts were okay...I found out that my bottom bolt was rounded pretty good. I didn't have a 19m Deep socket, or so I thought. I wedged my 4-way wheel wrench in the fender well and that gave enough leverage to break it off. Luckily since I'm also doing the camber kit install, I had an extra bolt.

That damn bottom bolt on the rear strut tower held me up for a good hour by being a stupid *****... until I finally figured out how to get a lot of leverage on the wrench from under the car - My jack! worked like a charm. I also tried getting the rear control arm off but that was being a wench also. But the bad thing is I ran out of daylight...So it's on jackstands and waiting for 7 A.M. tomorrow morning.

Update - I Got-R-Done this morning, took out for a test drive...Nice

I broke two ratchets trying to loosen the lower strut tower bolt on the Passenger's side...****

Took to get an alignment today, I did pretty good for eyeballing it

-1.2 both fronts

-1.5 DR -1.6 PR

After alignment, the fronts were -.4 and the rears were -.1
Had to roll the fenders...wenches were rubbin' hardcore. I'm taking it back in a couple days to fix it pulling to the right...and to dial more rear camber in

When I got back from test driving it, my fiance was standing outside. I asked her if it looked good and she said "Honey, Not to be mean, but I can't tell the difference..." So I had her come and try to sit in the passenger's seat. When she went to get in, she was used to what height the seat was, and she hit her head...

"Okay, Now I can tell that it's lower..."
