An alignment afterwards. I didnt get an alignment when i swapped suspensions back in June and i have gone threw 2 set of tires already.




its an old concept. time for something new to take the reigns. - Z yaaaa

^^^^this an thats about it, or you can snag some strut bars since you going to have the top screws off anyways or even put in some polyurethane endlinks to your front sway bar.

endlinks can be found anywhere pretty much, locally i used autozone, but you can get a full front end suspension kit from rksport i believe, not sure about them, or turbotechracing.com they are a very trust worth site to get stuff from.

i have KYB rear strut kit, mines make a noise when i go in reverse and when i jack the car up, so if u get those and later they make noise or not maybe its just mines.
