As of right now, i've installed everything myself and took me about 4 hrs.. was a piece of cake.. kinda struggle with the rears but i manage to get it in. My toe right now is hella crooked, GLEN was right... DO NOT DRIVE IT ANYWHERE except to da alignment shop lol shiet looks hella crazy.... luckly theres a alignment shop 2 mile from my house. ill snap some pics later!!!

When your car is lowered a lot, the toe cannot be corrected to factory spec. After adding the RCAs, my toe was able to be corrected to factory spec again. I'm using the AutoFashion SS kits.

By the way, to anyone with 16" wheels, the front RCA will not work. You will need a 17" wheel or larger or one of the castle nuts will scrape the inside of the rim. So if your spare wheel is a 16", be careful of that.

Read the exact website and do a search some people who tried to use the stock 16s with the front RCA kit got the whole inside of the rim rubbed by the front RCA and the website says yiu must have a 17" rim or bigger to run these. But if you got stock 17s I think you will be good
