Haha damn, drop spindles? New set of springs?

3r!c84 · 09-11-2010, 07:03 PM

alignment..........

bigblock73 · 09-11-2010, 07:05 PM

Heating coils is a no-no, buy some drop coils or get some stock ones and cut a coil off.

Get an alignment too.

i bought it with the heated coils. ordered spindles and got two passenger side ones

3r!c84 · 09-11-2010, 08:35 PM

ok you still need a alignment even with drop spindles

Needs more + Camber I had to stretch my control arms to get enough without having excessive shims.

As suggested, replace the heated coils and get an alignment.
