Good morning everyone? I figured I had enough of getting yelled at for being gone for so long. I hope everyone is enjoying the fairly mild winter so far! I'm hoping this crap is gone by February and we can get an early meet in by March :-D We shall see! I just got my Konigs back from Peng on Monday night and got a chance to get them on last night, going well so far, its awful tempting to sell my winter car :P

Partly that and if I can stick with just one car it will save me money on insurance and the maintenance of one car. Plus this one is in the garage, and I'm starting to get sick of scraping it and the cold leather sucks! Plus having a V8 to jack around with in the winer time is pretty fun actually....no surprise there! This last summer I let the Accord sit all year and had to do some extra work on it, so if I can bypass that this year and sell it for a few grand I'd be happy to have just one car, and then my other friend can park in the driveway too. So there are a lot of reasons, mostly just cuz I miss it tho! I feel kinda funny driving it in the winer tho

I hear ya, Mike. My car isn't slammed or anything, so i really have no point in storing it any longer. Might as well enjoy it! I feel weird to, but I got used to seeing it salt covered quickly and don't really care anymore lol Hell, i really had a massive change because it is OUTSIDE covered in snow and **** in Fargo. Really depresses me So i just go wash it and its all better.

I bought my front and rear kit not even what..3 weeks ago...went to install the rears today only to find out it already has the rear kit equipped..LOL! The rears I threw up in the classifieds and actually contacted THMotorsports to see if I can return them :-\

Lemme know bro...I'll obviously hook ya up!

and actually the rear camber arms fit 07 35's as well....so Hassam if you're thinking about dropping your next summer this might be for you too. Rears are usually a must for anyone droppin more then an inch or so to avoid neg tire wear.

hell yes...insulated..heated..drained....LOVE IT!!!

finished up the passanger camber arm before i went out for a few drinks 2night. Needed a few after a long *** day of workin' on the G. Got the wheels all set to sell. cleaned up the garage. washed the impala inside. and installed both right and left front camber arms.

Was the same amt of bolts/work as installing springs, but seems to go a hell of a lot easier when the car is up on 4 jackstands and don't feel as if you have to have it all done in one day...yet it still got done? I would HIGHLY recommend for anyone..if you're going to drop you're car in the future on coils, def get camber arms and install them at the same time as your springs/struts. Saves a TON of work...not to mention its basically doing the same thing over again.

Only 07 35's? I'm probably gonna have to get a rear kit next year....and probably also a front too if I decide to go lower.

When I saw your car I would have guessed it already had front and rear camber kits because it looked like the camber wasn't bad at all. Good to know you got them on all around though. I haven't been on driver in a while though or I would have come helped you out homie!
