What do i need to complete my drop.

I just picked up this kinetix camber kit up for 100 bucks. Its brand new but i am not sure it has all the required parts.

Also, what springs would you recomend for a 1-1.5 inch drop? I was thinking tiens.

Thanks, Justin

I have no experience with the kinetix kit. But looking at it those parts makes me very suspicious. From what I've read, not too many people go with Kinetix arms: bad bushings, broken arms, ack!

Here's some more popular kits. Looking at these, and then yours makes me wonder what exactly you've got in that box.







But to answer your question. Tein is good. Check this thread out. It's stickied at the top.

The camber kit is not necessary for a drop. The springs (or coilovers) are what's necessary for dropping the car. The camber kit is just to fix your alignment after you drop it.

Getting that kit before you've even picked out the springs is like putting the cart before the horse.

I would not put those on your car. Kinetix has been known for parts failing in the past, specifically their camber kits. That is why you dont see kinetix suspension parts being sold much anymore.

Thanks for the input guys, It seemed like a good deal at the time and yes i paid 100 bucks. The same guy i bought this stuff also let me have his kinetix SSV intake for my stock one +200 bucks. :P so even if this stuff is worthless, i still came out on top.

I will look into this further before installing on my g.

Man, i was looking for those IP solid engine mounts but they were discontinued as of last month so I just ordered something else instead.


Anybody knows what the other two things are to the left of the engine mounts?
