Well fellas, I had the KONvict in my neighbors garage for 4.5 hours last night and we dropped the b(*&h!

My numbers are NOT impressive. I still need an alignment(which is being done monday morn). I have only driven it from his garage to my house,which is 3 blocks. Camber and caster are out of whack.

Driverside front
32 3/8
Driverside rear
33 1/4

Pass front
32 3/4

Pass rear
34 1/8

T E RR I BLE...know! Where is my damn 32??????????????:shrug:

One thing I did'nt like about the kit, besides not being low enough was the bolt that goes int your lower control arm bushing through the trailing arm bracket is not long enough. The bolts suplied with my kit were only long enough for the nut to barely secure itself. Thats any easy fix though. I still have the Sensatrac rear airshocks in there. I dont see how the BS would make a bit of difference for lowering it more since the springs set the height. But for sake of arguing,I'll try them to.

Jonas, I had the same problem with the same bolt. Like you said, an easy fix but still frustrating.

Can't wait to see what you'll get with a little time and tweaking. I've been messing with mine for the past few months to get it where I want it. I'm still not there but I'm very close.

Yeah thanks for the hit.. I am rattling my brain with this. I cant do nothing til tomorrow anyway. They have this infared alignment machine in my town that will dial everything right in...panhard bar,UCA and LCA and front camber caster.

What I realy cant wait for is to hit the on ramp at 70mph and see how well my investment handles.....guess I better order front and rear sway bars from Tony this week also.

2 things I see. I didn't think you would need the LCA bracket with the spohn arms since they are adjustable and do you have shock extenders? That may be why your so high and why the bolt is too short. Just my observation, but I've been planning this for a while and would like to know either way.
