I constantly had problems trying to get it set correctly with the lowers. The upper was an easy adjustment. Just hindsight... I should have purchased the adj upper CA in the first place.

What's so much better about adjustable CAs? There double the price.

That's what I'm trying to tell you. Non-adjustable LCA's and an adjustable upper CA is what I should have gone with initially. You're going to need one or the other if you lower the car any amount to adjust pinion angle (or to adjust pinion angle at all).

Ah thanks!

I really didn't plan on lowering my car at all... Way too much construction and bad roads where I live.

I don't really want to lower my car yet, there are some major pot holes and speed bumps in DFW and Lubbock.

I'm thinking right now of just spending about $500 and holding on for some better tires/rims. I am using the Pirelli Nero Zero's, which completely suck. hmmm

- Pypes O/R H Pipe: $134.99
- CHE K-Member Brace w/ Torque Limiters: $159.99
- Hurst Comp+ Shifter: $189.99

Where are Front Sway bars for $100-150? I'd definitley pop one of those in too for that price. Brenspeed, lethal, D'Agostino are all $190-$200 for the cheaper ones.
Idk about lubbock, although my bro goes to school out there... but DFW certainly isn't bad dude. Lower it!

Big speed bumps and a couple pot holes around Keller/Southlake, you can probably back me up on this. :P

Lubbock is hell right now because of all the construction. :/

Do you go to UTA?

I think I've seen you around Southlake town square and Harkins before. Do you remember driving side by side with another GT and like four or five Southlake cops jump onto Southlake blvd. shadowing to make sure no one raced?

I drive around some of the old parts of Keller, etc.

EDIT: ehh, I can barely keep my tires on the ground already. I couldn't imagine running with gears on top of it. :P
