actually our cars have struts, not shocks. But thanks for the info, i'll give that shop in Austin a call, i'd rather pay to have someone that really knows suspension than spend smaller amounts and get nowhere.

 

there is a huge thread somewhere on here, but, indeed our cars have coil over shocks...

a strut involves the steering part of the suspension, ours do not...

burned on his first post......ouch . im just kidding but mitsuguy is right struts are built into steering and allow for much greater caster adjustment from the factory unlike our cars.

 

whatever you want to call, this is what i'm saying, the strut or shock on our cars shouldn't affect alignment b/c we have upper control arms, so the Midas dude is bsing about how they are crucial to alignment right? Anyway, Austin people, a good suspension shop?

 

did you follow my link to Soul Speed?

Those guys are awesome...

but yes, he was BS'ing - the ONLY thing the shocks control in our car is ride height (and thats only based on the spring height)

 

thanks, yeah i finally got in touch with soul speed and i have an appointment Monday, i'll let you know how it goes.
