Envy(Grasshopper) all lowered with a new stance

Post by Envy03 »

Little bit of a teaser post, but I promise i will have pics up soon(maybe even today). Rear bumpstops weren't trimmed, I asked my mechanic and he said it shouldn't too much of an issue. Unfortunately the rear has somewhat, only noticeable to the critical eye, started to "toe in" or become a little crooked. Nothing major though and apparently that can be corrected but adjusting the cambers. Speaking of which could someone inform me of where they are located on the rear?He charged me $80 to do the front and threw in a sub box for free!

after like a week or two of driving after being lowered go get an alignment. Theres no real, adjust your own camber like coil overs on stock suspension setup. For 80 bucks to do them...not bad.

Nice! I wouldn't worry about the camber. Mine does the same and my tire wear is just fine.

That's what I'm talking about! Thinking of 18's. Any suggestions? Keep in mind I'm up North in Canada. I'll check the forum.

camber would require a plate to adjust on the rear.
