It always helps when you tell people where you are located. The bay area is a big one.

Why not support one of your local Suby shops...you'll find them very reasonably priced. GST is just around the corner from you (510)264-9049.

I would if I had the fundages but the lack of it at this point has me seeking the help of I-Club brethren.

heres a tip for you when you put in the springs. Dont risk breaking your ratchet when trying to break the 2 bolts behind the brakes. You'll notice the bolts are 19mm's....what else is 19mm's? Your lug nut wrench thingy and its more durable than your ratchet.

When youre putting the camber bolt back in, I used the lug nut wrench to hold the bolt still while I tightened the nut with my ratchet.

AND DON'T FORGET TO MAKE MARKS ON THE CAMBER BOLT BEFORE EVEN TOUCHING IT! You have no idea how helpful it'll be

also, the big washer inside the tophat on the front struts, is important...your car will make a weird noise when turning if it isnt in there
