Just out of curiosity but can anybody point me to the thread that may actually contain the info related to how much time is needed to take this measurement? I also need an address to the location. Thanks guys.

It wasn't posted in a thread, I have it in a PM from FIGS when I asked them about it. I believe they mentioned just about 2-4 hours for measurements, pics, scans etc. I will PM FIGS to reach out to you either here or PM that your are posting on the thread.

Thanks again man!!

Jlacck,
I think I can take some quick measurements in onw afternoon to start working on the links and more importantly look at the suspension for the best locations for the adjustment.

I would estimate, 1-2 hrs inititally, just in case I need to remove links to measure tapers. Afterwards up to 4 hours to fit everything and potentially remove them again.

Just shoot me a PM and let me know your schedule.

There is also a posibility that we can just make new bushings for mild adjustment, 1 degree or so. There can be several stages.

Mike

After 5 years with a dropped G35 and 3 years with a dropped GS350, I am can not begin to tell you how annoying it is. Im not so worried about the money as much as the time and the annoyance of returning for the inevitable rebalance over and over again. Then when they finally get it right, 4 months later you are back to have the tires flipped, and the the process of rebalances continues. Its like it doesnt stop. I want a nice looking car thats not a headache and so far the 22" wheels at stock height is working pretty well.
