Now here is my Q??? should i get the alignment kit??? if so how much do i get?? Qty 4??? well im guessing 4 cuz theres 2 bolts each tire that holds the shocks. and Qty 1 is a pair (2 alignment bolts). So does this mean i have to get 4?? mad.gif mad.gif confusing.

Don't buy things if you don't know what they are for wink.gif. You only need 4 bolts total, and you can just buy crash bolts for $3 a piece. Technically you don't even need either of them because it is possible to get within factory spec without the use of crash bolts or camber kits.

Your welcome smile.gif. The camber kit becomes more important when you lower your car a larger amount, perhaps if you were using a coilover system. Because you are using a lowering spring set up, I say you are good to go without any such camber kit, since the drop on your car will not be an extreme amount of change.

make sure you get an alignment as well, if your car is lowered make sure they give you some negative camber

nope, but if you were about to say you've known a few people get ripped off from them, I was going to cancell my order lol. I found one review about them by searching google that said they did business pretty well, just forgot to give the person the tracking # until he sent them an email asking for it. Which is ok, I guess. But they are based not even an hour away from my house, so I'll go there personally if I have troubles biggrin.gif

Yeah, you can give them a call 1-888-378-7278 if anything happens and try to get it settled or email them to see whats up IF by chance something goes wrong. Otherwise I'll drive over there and tell them to fix it or else lol. I think (hope) they are pretty reliable smile.gif

those bolts look like the little nipple can break off. if you're gonna get bolts get some that look like cam shafts.
