    Gonna Slam It

    Yes, thats right, im gonna do it.

    This is what im going to do, tell me if im gonna do this wrong cause i dont know what the f*ck im doing...

    -Get the $97 2" lowering springs, from NOPI
    -Get 4 Koni Struts, from NOPI
    -Swap my stock springs and struts with these

    Is that ALL I need to do?!

    Will it be easy, for a suspension neophyte like myself?

    Am I missing sumthing?

    Would you eat them in a box, with a fox?
    On a train in the rain?

    i dont have none camber is noticeable but just so u have a good alighnment then your tires wont wear

    i like camber, gives a sporty look and helps with handling , too much camber will make handling worse tho,

    When you said Slammin I thought you were going for 3" or 4"
    2" still gives a sporty look.
    I also have no camber adjustments.

    You'll like your setup when you get it installed. Nopi doesn't carry the koni's get them from www.tirerack.com or from www.shox.com
    Tirerack carries the Eibach camber kits they cost $50 per side, so $100 for the pair. When you get ready to install them pm me and I'll give you some tips to help you with the Koni's. Oh BTW, you could use 2nd gen prelude arm's with some washers instead of the camber kit's, it would be cheaper that way, it you want to.

    Your going to need a camber kit, period. The guys that dont have a camber kit, their tires might not be showing any wear right now, but believe me once the tires start getting lower, you will DEFINITELY see that you needed a camber kit from the get-go. The insides of my tires are balled and my camber is only off .3 degrees with an ingalls camber kit. I do run high speed turns and drive a lot too...
