Ground Controls & KYB AGX = nice stiff ride

lowered 2 inches or lower = buy a camber kit

reason for camber kit... when you lower your car, the wheel's camber becomes "increasingly negative", meaning the top of the tire is angled inward (toward the center of the vehicle). camber kits help fix the negative camber, which in turn makes your camber back to 0. the more negative camber you have, the more uneven tire wear you get.

Agree with this! Have a question though, what did you do about dust boots? Did you leave them off? I really would like to put them on. ... hehe wrong place to ask!

it seems as though the dust boots don't fit on that setup. others with the same setup have had the same problem. the end result is that nobody has dust boots on them...
