Would it be safe?

All of the stuff I ordered should definately come in tomorrow. First of all, I'm excited as hell. Second, would it be safe to put the adj. coilovers on my stock shocks for about a week and a 1/2? My next paycheck should be banking mad cash and that'll hit me enough for my KYB AGX's. Or should I just wait? If I get them tomorrow I'll probably install either Wednesday or Sat/Sun. With the KYB's I'm also going to get a camber kit. What should a good quality Camber Kit run me? I mean one that actually fixes the problem!! I read about a GC one but can't find it online. Do you guys think I should just wait to install everything? I mean I'll only be riding on my stock shocks for about 1 1/2 weeks - 2 weeks MAX before getting my AGX's. And if I do install right away I definately won't drop it more than 1" because of camber issues. I kind of feel that I need to wait just to be safe but I really want them on ASAP. What do you guys think? Any answers would help a ton. Thanks.

I think you should just wait and put it all together, unless you enjoy putting stuff together twice I would wait until you get the new struts and camber kits and do it all at one time, save your self the headache of doing the job twice. just my 2 cents.

I would also have to say wait..you have to grind off the steel plates on the top of the front struts to get the threaded sleeve over it to slide it on the body of the strut...and, If you want them quiet..you sh0uld use the mehtod used in www.nissanperformancemag.com for installing coilovers..using duct tape and RTV...the will make NO noise if you do it this way.

I'd wait until you got everything at do it all at once

Would there be anything wrong with it for the 1 1/2 weeks I'd be riding on it? I mean I don't mind taking everything apart and putting it back together because I know it won't take long since I know what I'd be doing. I think I'm going to go ahead and do it just to see how the ride is. And if I don't mind the ride that much, which I may, I may spend that 400 bucks elsewhere. Do any of you know where I could find KYB AGX's for cheaper then 380 a set? I don't remember where I found that at, but I'll be sure to look again. From reading that article at NissanPerformanceMag.com, I have to shave some of the steel plate off anyways to get the coil sleeve over it. I'll be sure to use that method though. I definately want a quiet ride! I'm still thinking because I still don't have my wheels!! Bastards don't know how to ship!
