Just need to get my plenum spacer/y-pipe/sound system out then it is ready to go for sale. I am probably going to pick up a car in another month or two. We will see. No big rush or anything.

Got to test drive a 2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo today. What an amazing vehicle.

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!
Yeah, the inside tire of the front wheels was SHOT. That's really the only way i could tell I immediately needed a camber kit.

The front arms are what is expensive. The rears are only like 200 bucks. It's just nice to know I'll be done w/ my suspension w/ the coils, cambers, and strut brace.

The install itself wasn't really bad at all. With having a car that's never seen snow, and prob hardly a drop of rain, the nuts and bolts were bad to pry loose and what not. It was pretty much the same install we did for my springs, but it seems that the room in the wheel well of the 37's is quite a bit larger then the 35's. I just remember trying to get the two bolts off the strut arm and it just being a pain in the as

If i don't talk to any of you b4 2morrow...merry christmas and happy holidays everyone! BRING ON 2011!!! I've got A LOT IN STORE W/ A FEW SUPRISES!!!!!!!

Happy Holiday's everyone! Today I had one of Janik's favorite mods done...eyelids. I really like how they look, and they give the headlights an aggressive look at night.

Yea... favorite....


I saw a DG RWD 05/06 sedan on 212 today coming back from snowmobiling. It had exhaust, what looked like coupe 18" wheels, and it was lowered.

typically pretty easy, but when you start getting into rusty bolts it can become a pain.

^^couldn't have said it any better. The install itself isn't bad at all. Its the same steps minus one of installing springs because you don't have to take the entire strut out, just need the top 3 bolts released so there's enough movement to get the two camber arm bolts out.

Without power or air tools I did all 4 in about 4 hours(fronts take a bit longer).

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
