Default Got my lowering springs.......

I'm going to go ahead and try the INTRAX SPRING KIT. I have have it sitting on the floor but I have concerns installing it without adjusting the camber and i'm also worried about whether I need new shocks or not? My ride has 52500 miles with the factory shocks....

Any suggestions?

Default I predict the answer will be...

replace the shocks. The consensus here is the factory shocks were shot many miles ago, and should be replaced with the springs to save labor costs.

P.S. What are those wheels? They look nice!

Default Too late, but no need to rip things apart.....>

Parts source inside too..
Very easy to do when doing new shocks, but not difficult on the car...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1319039.phtml">1 hour stut bearing replacement</a></li></ul>
