Crap is the pro-kit supposed to be real low

I finally got it done. Lowered the front end a lot. Looks good but now my caster/camber is screwed bad. Tires are out further on the bottom than top.

I also replaced all the front suspension stuff. Think the tire problem could be because it is WAY out of alignment? I drove it halfway down my street and it feels wierd. Gonna be an interesting trip to get it aligned. Brakes don't feel quiet right either.

They were a dark greyish black color. After the alignment it raised it a hair. It was WAY out of align but all is good now. The front end sits much lower now. It looks good. Steering is very tight now. Overall the car feels much better...even without the front sway bar. Soon as I get some new bushings I will put it back on.

Had the same problem with mine. My camber/caster and toe
was way out once I lowered it and swapped in the 350.
I still need to get it realigned. But, it's now almost November,
and I live in New England. The car will be stored soon.

I have a "WAY too much to do" list on my car!
