My very first suspension modification...

jonthesloth · 03-25-2009, 05:51 AM

Installed my Prodrive springs this Saturday. Brand new so they should settle a bit more I'm assuming.

Me and my buddy knocked this one out in a little less than 5 hours. Neither of us have never done any kind of suspension before. We read a tutorial on iwsti.com and it ended up working out...

Here are the before and after photo's with iphone:

Before:

After:

i love the agressive look of it and it does handle better.

any ways to check and make sure i did this right? I marked the camber bolts with paint marker and we used power tools and a torque wrench.

you will still need to get the alignment checked - even if you got the camber bolts exactly back to their marks the play in the other bolts and the change in ride height will have altered the camber and that will change the toe angle
