Default Finally got my GC's put on.

Just like the topic says, got my Ground Controls on this morning. The install went pretty well, only reall problem was the spring compressor we had wouldnt fit on the front springs. The coils were so close that I couldnt slip the compressor on. Still it only took about 2.5 - 3 hours to do everything.

Also, if anyone is thinking of doing springs the near future, its MUCH easier to just unbolt the Upper Control Arm as apposed to breaking the rear ball joint. It only takes two bolts to pull the UCA and you dont have to worry about tearing a ball jont boot or the pain of re-connecting the ball joint.

I am taking the car for an alignment Monday, right now I have a two finger gap all around. I know several people are running their GC's about this heigth, do you think I will need a camber kit or will I align close enough to stock?

Camber kits are always good when lowering your car. When you lower it's not a matter of alignment, the angle of your tire now sits at a negative camber (the wheel sits at a slant up and in, like so /----\) The camber kit allows your wheels to sit up and down at a 90 degree angle again l----l giving your tires proper contact with the road surface and longer life. A camber kit is definitely a must.
