But I am still going to get one anyway this next week end.

one question tho... everytime i unbolt my suspension, i find my alignment to be just horrible... how do you get your ride back to specs without an alignment?
maybe it has something to do w/ the stillen camber bolt kit that i am running?

Really I have no Idea, I guess I just get lucky..... Even thoe it still tracks right, I still go and get an alignment. Just to make sure, just because it goes straight, and looks ok, doesnt mean everything is all good.

i use a long piece of molding to check toe (if F/R toe is zero then front and rear tires will all touch molding) for camber torpedo level, framing square, and a small rule with 16ths graduations - plumb or level framing square next to wheel measure from square to top of wheel and bottom subtract it'll give close approximation. suggestion get alignment write down measurements and go from there. its cheap and accurate enough
