also, if you have coilovers, and you get a 1.5' drop, then you change your mind and want it lower or higher, do you adjust the camber kit too???? please help me out, seems confusing

You don't need a camber kit with higher than a 2" drop. Anything 2" or more we recommend a camber kit.

But yes everytime you raise or lower the car you need to get the car realigned.

sears wont do it, but maybe a local guy would

in fact, in my area sears wont touch a lowered car...only in the kali area.

also, maybe you guys cant tell just by looking at the pic, but can you look at it, and make an estimate of how low it is. to me it kinda looks lower in the front, this is how i want my hatch to sit, i think it looks good

you take out the speakers in the back and use extensions for your impact driver or wrench.

Our Sears made ramps out of 2x4s for lowered cars, but I'm sure they don't install camber kits. You have to find a local shop or look in the yellow pages under "Automotive: Racing parts" They might be able to recommend someone to you.

I personally like local shops cause they work on customer relations not hungry for money.
