Mine is lowered 2.5 inches in the back and it is noticable. The inside of the tires wear out quicker than they used to. |  |  | | 10-04-2005, 10:56 PM | #17 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: North Saint Paul, MN Posts: 606 |

I had several things done on the car to get it in better shape. My total labor bill was around 1900 (that's right no parts just labor!!!  ). Overall I had a new clutch/flywheel, some exhaust work, and lots of suspension work, plus a custom alignment shop to properly set everything and a new set of tires. It added up quickly, but I'm happy how it all came out. The camber kits are pricey, but I would suggest not buying a cheaper set. This is an area where you'll want a quality piece and have to pay a bit for it. You may end up with inferior equipment. __________________ '96 Alaska Blue ti w/ Supersprint cat-back exhaust...Dinan CAI & Chip...Eibach Pro-Kit Springs...Bilstein Sport shocks...BavAuto camber kit...Brembo d/s rotors...UUC SSK...Centerforce Dual Friction clutch...TMS 9lb flywheel...18 inch OZ Rims...Carbon-Fiber dash/gauge bezel...Momo Shift Knob...Indiglo gauges...Schroth Harness...ZKW's/ProLumen 6k HID...Predator Chromiums
