ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

      Get those two things, put them on.
      Then get an alignment.

        You will need:

        Springs - get quality. They aren't that expensive

        Shocks - KYB GR2s at the very least (and these are only stock replacements). Koni Yellows would be ideal, and they have a lifetime warranty, no matter how low you go.

        Camber kit - not "cambers". Again, get quality. A $50 kit from ebay can break (I had it happen to me), and you WILL lose control of your vehicle if that happens. I HIGHLY recommend TASauto.com's adjustable upper control arms. I have them on my car, and I couldn't be happier. The front is more important than the rear, though you SHOULD get both.

        Alignment - Any time you touch your suspension, you need an alignment. Firestone will give a lifetime alignment for about $200. Pay once, go back as often as you want.




        In addition to those things, check the condition of your bushings, ball joints (this is very important! if they fail, you crash), wheel bearings, brake components... Anything that needs replacing, replace it. Suspension is one of the easiest things to work on with our cars, but it is also one of the most dangerous. Make sure it's right, or you're putting yourself at risk. Don't go cheap, don't halfass anything, and don't do something until you know what you're doing.

          It's a good deal, but also some fine print. Certainly doesn't transfer between cars, and maybe not between Firestone locations.

            It SHOULD transfer between locations... but no, certainly not between cars.
