So, nothing done yet but also ordered an HKS high power (on back order &#128542, 5/16th isothermal plenum spacer and an MREV2. Once I figure out the APO shipping, Osiris standard will get thrown into the mix. And for sh*ts and giggles gonna get a popcharger to replace the off brand intake that was on the car when I bought it.

Couple vendors here had them in stock this week, ordered yesterday, it'll be here tomorrow. Hopefully get it on Sunday. Then it's onto killing time until these meisters come in. Then making it through winter so I can mount them ha

I have kinetix fuca, so far my biggest regret.. 2 reputable shops both dislike it due to blind guess adjustment or next to impossible. Still @ -2 camber front.. will sell it soon.

Blind? You have to drop the ball joint, adjust and recheck. Your local pep boys won't do that for you. Good luck with them specs not changing while the upper mount walks as they tighten four bolts in sliding mounts to a high torque spec...

When you say still at -2 are you implying it was at -2...they adjusted it and you're still at -2? If so, find a more "reputable" shop.

I never go to pepboys, the 2 shops are the best in my area. They never heard of kinetix arms.. how should I adjust this? -2 is all they could do (probably not knowing how to do it) they said all it has was the locking nut.

Yeah I'm not trying to sound rude but find another shop. You take the nut off, pop out the ball joint, and screw it in or out and reattach. They're obviously not very bright. I'm a shade tree mechanic and I had absolutely no problem whatsoever looking at it once and realizing how it worked.

It's time consuming to undo, adjust ...recheck on the alignment rack, then maybe have to do it again. They weren't beat for that it would cost them money to do it right ya know. So they told you it's "impossible". Another "shop" taking advantage of people
