camber is going to be fubar, as if it wasn't bad enough with the semi rear trailing arm setup.

I also demand the flame brigade. How many people are this desperate to lower their car? I would at minimum put eibach springs and kyb struts on any car I owned rather than taking a hacksaw to my shoddy stock coils. -

I second the Eibachs. I love em, and it's not ghetto. WTF people, you realize the "slam scene" is about status right? The amount of money and parts you buy make the car "cool". -

how weird… its like he's standing in gas and playing with matches…
Pros:
free
easy
fun?
lowers car
stiffens ride
Low cars bring the girls (?)
can join the "no fat chicks, will scrape" club
Cons:
blows struts
emphasizes negative camber
might mess with caster
if not done well can unseat springs
if not even will make the car lean = negative status and the cool kids will like you less
not as stable for strenuous driving
Uncomfortable bouncy squeaky painful ride repels the girls (?)SS #341

if you want autoX or circuit type racing don't cut them cause you'll ruin your caster."produce first.talk second." -
