Ya I did a search but you find so many hundreds of different suspension configurations that its hard to tell what people's actual opinion is on 1 such product. What do you guys think of these?

Do I need a bushing kit or something to go along with these?

I'll be installing them myself, for free ;) Hopefully there won't be any medical bills or replacement part dues after this :P I'm also going to be doing the 15 dollar rear-camber mod, and I'm hoping I won't need to do a camber kit on the front (1.5" drop)

LOL! Cool, looks like I found the popular product. Ya, I thought I would attempt to install them myself. Then go to a tire shop and get my alignment and have them do the camber at the same time.

I got that setup and got a four wheel alignment with an Ingalls kit from www.importautoperformance.com.

Only mine was half that price. :)

I bought those shocks but used some Eibach Sportlines on them. I put em on and had it aligned back in August of last year and they are still going strong. I have a camber kit on both front and rear and I'm dropped probably about 1.8 in. or so.

I have H&R race springs alot of drop over 2 inches. My front looks good but by back is way off. I need to use shims and spacers so im Having a shop do mine after a year the owner of the shop remembers me and my car ( only was there once )and is giving me a discount. Because I took his advise and upgraded my suspension and breaks (breaks next weekend) before I did my motor gotta stop fast before you should go fast. I love cool shops.

ive been wondering about the camber mod, is 4 washers behind it what normally gets it closest to a 0 degree camber? every shop ive been to said that since i have aftermarket stuff, they wont install the ingalls kit or aftermarket camber kits, i have to do it and then they can just adjust it.

i love my tokico hp kit, rides amazing
