got it aligned again...guy from shop called me and was like "your car is too low" and i was like "isn't your alignment rack flush with the ground?" and he said "yeah, but the bumper that keeps your car from coming off is hitting your front bumper..." he just did it manually...guess i might have to raise it up even more...boo

You dont need to raise it up foo. Just take the bumper off then take it to get aligned.

Dallas Frame & Alignment FTW! You could drive in scraping your frame and they can still align it!

I think they are $120 for an alignment but worth every penny. These guys have installed so many camber & toe adjustment kits on the G & Z and can align them with their eyes closed.

Thumbs up

Well I had a diff install and dude got the wrong diff from the vendor.. simple mistake but now he has a racing event he has to go to with an open diff... Look how off it is. The difference you ask? well he ordered the BASE DIFF for "automatics" which his car is an automatic. HOWEVER he had the manual diff pumpkin. The teeth didnt even TOUCH the final drive. It was a TOTAL DISSAPPOINTMENT. I managed to save his bearings (HF FTMFW!) so he could return the diff and get the right one.

Side by side comparison to QUAIFE LSD (QDF10L) to OPEN DIFF - I WILL think twice on an install like this one when it comes to an auto - no telling what car has what..


I also got some BALLER TOE ARMS - ya'll already know from where...
