^ Yep, I'm having them do almost everything.. ie.. RCK, PSRS.. I would like to get the plates and springs on my other set of Bilsteins before I go though. I really don't want to pay them to do it if I don't have too. I do plan on having them swap out the struts too, I'm not messing with that damn bolt. Right now my appointment is for the 17th, I may move it up to the 14th or out to the 18th, not sure yet.

you have an extra set of struts that you'll be putting your springs and camber plates on?

i would think if that's the case you should have no problem doing it on your own. get a spring compressor if you don't have one. if you need an extra set of hands, hit me up. that's all you really need...an extra set of hands. shelly could do it if she'd tolerate it.

I might need to co-drive that bish one event.

Maybe that will be what I do this year, just co-drive different peoples cars. That would be cool.

Oh, I still may be hitting you up... I've never done a spring install myself, I also have no idea about the camberplates.. I just want to make sure I don't over/under torque anything.

i've never done camber plates but i am sure they isn't much else to them in regards to mounting them.

you won't over or under torque anything. if RT is installing them then they'll do all the important torquing. the only thing that is needed to be snug is the nut on the top hat. i have a decent impact wrench that will torque it off/on better than hand tools since you'd be holding the strut with your hands........if that makes sense.

I'm laughing at some of the racer guys who say they're "sponsored" by shops/vendors or whatever. Just cause someone gives you $5.00 off your order and a free sticker doesn't mean you've been sponsored, lol.
