Is cutting the dust shield mandatory on the SS pro kit. Or is that only for 17" wheels? I'm sunning oem 18s and will be installing the SS pro kit soon. Unfortunately the pictures from the DIY are no longer showing.
I'm getting mentally prepared to install this kit, unfortunately the pictures are gone, can anyone tell me where was C8V6C cutting the dust shield? Front/rear even? Anyone has pictures of a cut shield or can explain approximaterly what to cut?
I did not have to cut any of the shield as i was able to bend it in a way that it did not hit the rotor during movement. Very simple just rotate the hub/rotor after installing the SS kit and see which part needs to be bent.
What about the rears. I heard that a washer was needed on the top hat. is this true or not. I've heard both ways....yes its needed.....and no its not needed.
Rear blocks mount to to bottom of the shock. They only fit one way and is pretty self explanatory once you mock it up. You need the shims otherwise you will hear a banging/clunking over small bumps in the road due to the new angle. In the instructions it states you it will damage the upper strut mounting points.
