have you purchased all of that yet?


if your going to buy brand new AGX and Sleeve on Coilovers.

You can get a set of adjustables for about the same price (Function and Form)

just a thought

just get regular drop springs. take your pick.

if you insist on coilovers, get ground control. dont ask about what rates, jsut get whatever they offer.

forget about camber kits.

forget about LCA.

if you need to replace bushings, get OEM.

get an alignment when youre done to fix your toe.

Tyson knows his stuff. I agree with everything he says here, especially the part about getting the toe aligned after lowering.

rubbage depends on offset.

LCA add stability? shoot the person who told you that.
