Front suspension.. Please help
Alright guys, i got the rear figured out, but dont know what to do about the front. I have a 89 iroc and I am about to re-do the entire suspension. I got a front end rebuild kit, KYB shocks/struts, and 1.5 inch lowering springs. I also have LCA relocation brackets and an adj. panhard bar, all ready for install. So, I guess i have to questions. First, what do i need for the front suspension, so that the wheel's dont camber. Second, does this seem like a complete list? Do any of you think i need to add more?

Pick up a bump steer correction kit. Think they are about $150 or so. Only other thing you might want to consider is an adjustable torque arm. That'll run about $300 though.

A bump steer kit consits of 2 sleeves, 4 lock nuts and 2 adjustable tie rod ends with shims and a set of LH & RH 5/8 Heim ends. Start shopping at speedwaymotors and you can buy all that for much less and maybe upgrade the heims for something better than economy units
The adj. tie rod ends are about 8$, the sleeves maybe 10. The nuts next to nothing...leaves plenty of moolah for some proper rod ends and if you're smart, get some seals it seals so the heims don't wear out like crazy.
