yes, but your camber adjustment will make more of a difference then ride height.


Dan has one of those nifty fender rollers that they have up at LIC. you could probably come by and use it if you ask Dan.

yes, you have to use a heat gun to prevent the paint from chipping. It would take a good few hours is my guess.
Once we do mine I'll let you know how long it takes, unless of course you want to experiment with your car.
