    and also if your gonna drop..change your shocks out too..Something cheap and simple are the KYB agx`s up front and the kyb gr2 in the rear......One thing you must remember to get are camber bolts and a alignment 8)

    explain these camber bolts a little more to me?....first time I've lowered a vehicle.

    And also I am about to order up urethane bushings from http://www.toyheadauto.com/PerformanceP ... 6_to_1989_
    (one set of 1044K and one set of 1363K) do I need to mess with any alignment settings when I get those too?



    edit: sorry for the thread hijack

    Hey I just removed a set of Suspension Technics 1.5" drop springs from my GTS, I've really got no use for them now. They worked great with my AGX front strut inserts and GR-2 rear struts, ran full season of track events with no problems, just not stiff enough for track use! They work great on the street without a jarring ride like some others. Make me an offer on these, their just taking up space in my shop.

    A bolt fitted with an eccentric that is turned to change a wheel's camber setting. Camber bolts are typically used on control arms and lower strut mounts.

    hey shmoot those bushings are the right ones to get. Don't worry about those messing with camber settings as they are produced to give you stock alignment assuming all your other suspension is fine. While you're at it, get the sway bar bushings as well.
