Default Suspension upgrade questions....please read.

I am trying to decide if I should go Kmac or Forge tie bars. My TT is currently out of camber, and I have a shop appt. on Tuesday. I am told that Kmacs are on back order... does anyone have a Kmac kit (unused preferably) that they would not mind parting w/?

My other option is Forge which is more $$$, do the forge arms have any added features? is it better in some way?

Also how often/or soon do you think that suspension bushings should be replaced?

sigh...this car is a parasiTTe that trasmits a disease called modding!


Thanks in advance.

Default I haven't heard an advantage one way or the other... I have KMac's... consider >>

that IF you're lowered you may need a full kit vs 1/2 kit to get rear TOE in allignment, not just the camber - at least that's my experience

Default update: ttstuff just got back to me...

and can get the kmacs in my hand by sat. is there a reason why I should get the full kmac over 1/2kamcs? I am at a 1.25in drop.

Unfortunately I have yet to see pics of what is included in each kit.

Gotcha, then either the full kit or the 1/2 KMAC for the top and forge bars on the bottom.
