Unable to find answers for shocks and camberkits after searching; Need questions answered...
Looking at how to install the camber kits it appears to be pretty easy (well atleast if I can get the bolts off; my '95 corolla was tuff as ***** and never came off). Are the camber kits easily adjustable? The front ones it appears you just turn a screw clockwise/counterclockwise to adjust, but the rear ones I am unsure how they would get adjusted.
Looking at ingalls website they have this tool available 2300 Camber-Kwik, and I am unsure what it is for and how it works. Does it read how much your camber is off so you don't have to get the alignment done by a shop. I plan to get ground control coilovers so I can raise my car a little in the winter for when it snows, So if this helps me measure it would be very beneficial.
How stable are the OEM shocks with ground control coilovers. I plan to replace the shocks, but the Koni yellows appear to be a pain in the *** with all the cutting. Will there be shocks coming out that don't require alterations?
Last thing. When I change the springs should I use a spring compressor. I know they keep the factory spring compressed and keeps everything from flying off, but is it really needed?

Rep Power: 0 Oops, for the fronts, yeah you will. The backs won't need it if doing the second option. Had to check the instructions for using GCs and the Konis. Forgot the Konis are inserts for the front.

Well I am hoping that a replacements for the fronts will be available soon. I'm hoping to do all/most of this with my tax returns. Anyone know when replacement fronts will be coming out. I think tokico is making some, but not sure and if so any estimated time for arrival?
about 2 weeks ago i installed the koni's....they are no where near as hard as you think, total job took 3 1/2 hours without a lift....just me, my dad, and my friend did it all....came out great, and the car handels AWESOME!
all you have to do to modify the front struts are cut the top, and drill a hole in the bottom.....like i said...its really no big deal!
peace
check out some pics
