4 weeks later, my H&R from the suppliers have still not come through, they seem to have a problem getting hold of these in the UK!

I just got ripped off, since im dropping my car on friday, i did not have time to find a good place to get the lower control arm bushings in time so i ordered them from the stealership $116.60 (there are 6 parts in the box), and my cost for instalation for suspention without bushingsis is$150...im expecting $250 with everything springs, pads, bushings, shocks

Just make sure the dealer does not try to get $500 out of you for the bushing change.

Get those MB camber correction bolts that I posted the pt# for in 'part numbers'(page 2 by now I think?)

You'll get .5+ correction in the front, also tell the alignment shop to dial in 0.00 toe! This is a must if you value your tires. -0.5 Toe is supposed to keep your car pointed forward and feel stable, but you wont notice a difference @ 0.00 deg!

Keep the stock pads. #1's will get you this w/cut coils.....tire tucking 3/4 of an inch & -2.8deg camber = ghetto

Its hard to tell here in these pics but the second one here is almost 1/2 inch higher (where it currently sits). #3 pads got me like .4 inch raise over the above photo. I tuck like 1/4 inche & camber is -1.7

My front H&R's are cut from the bottom only 1/2 a coil. I noticed no ride difference at all and 1/2 inch lower. Just don't heat them, hack them.

Well, i'm just curious about my options with this. For such a small part it seems like a whole lot of money to replace, especially when the parts required are so cheap. Any thoughts?
