Ah I see... Perhaps the level of adjustment is overkill, along with it's price... But the fact that they even state "prone to slipping" is just... x___x... How long have you been rockin' that rear toe arm?

I have the rear toe bolt (option2) on my car for the last couple of years. It has been working fine for me, perhaps for the guys that hit the track more than I do run into issues where the toe arm (option1) is a must.

Friday night... I am spontaneously planning (oxymoron?) to do this TONIGHT. I asked around for some company but, being 22, most my homies have plans already so I dunno... If I don't get to do it tonight I be sad man .___.

I'm in the same boat. Already have the camber kits though. just switching from springs to BC BRs. The install seems relatively straight forward. What I'm most concerned with is why and how to set preload and does it need to be front AND rear? Also, corner weighting... Wtf is that and is it necessary?

Digress! I just typed up like fifty thousand pages worth of text explaining what's going on and why I'm so hesitant/passive on this whole thing...

But **** it... Either tonight, or tomorrow night. I feel like this entire topic has been one big disappointment now I must... I must DOOOOOOEEEEEEEET! haha

Just install it.. drive it around for a week then adjust your height to the way you like it.. I like to run mines at soft rear and stiff front. (I never adjust the rear I just adjust the front depending on if the girlie is in the G or not).

After 2 weeks go get an alignment.. Google "corner balancing" if you want to spend the money. That is all.. DOO ITTT..

We'll see what happens tonight. Last night, I lifted the car and took the front wheels off and bumper off to fix my foglight. Got the new bulb plugged in and fit snug, but still won't turn on... I'm not sure why, but if the fuse blew for some reason (I was adjusting fog aim when it flickered and died), I didn't want to put up with it since I had such a short temper last night. Plus, the stupid K&N Filter was annoying as **** =.= By this time, I was extremely low on patience and high on temper, so the next problems that arose last night just about had me punching things.

I know it all sounds pretty pathetic but I'm kind of in a bad mental state as of lately >.< I pray I will be calm tonight.
