I Put on some new front suspension components consisting of:

03-04 cobra control arms
Steeda 4 bolt caster/camber plates
New hubs both sides
Steeda bumpsteer kit
Mach 1 tokicos(black)
I started around 3pm and finished at 2:45am.
I did almost all of it by myself, with some help from my dad and brother.:nice:
Iam taking it to get aligned tommorrow morning since the steering wheel is tilted.

What do you think I should have them set it to?

Heres some pics:D

I got it aligined yesterday morning. The steering wheel is straight and it rides smoother but you can feel the road due to the caster/camber plate bushings, but I will get use to it in time. I also found that my pass. balljoint was busted ( drivers side was almost there) which created my clanking over bumps.
I haven't taken many corners yet so.......


Also what is the least amount I tread I should have on tires???
 
Did you have problems with the Tokico hp's or just worn out? I am getting ready to install some with my Eibach prokit.

I had wondered that too.

I run the combo you are going to install (HP's and Prokit). I dont have the refined tastes that some folks do but I like the combo pretty well. It's pretty stiff.
 
I thought one of them went bad but it turns out that it might have been the balloint that went out.

The mach 1 are a bit softer too. And Since they are ripping up the old roads and putting in six lanes there are alot of bumps and where the asphalt starts and stops, I could use all the softness I can get.
