Take it to Sprockets on post and do it yourself. It's cheaper ($2.00 an hour I think) and they have the lift, tools and will give you the technical help if you get in a bind.

Best bet right there! Looks like it costs a bit more to use the bays and lifts but still a great bargain. ++ Fort Hood DFMWR ++ Sprocket Auto Crafts. I wish I still lived close enough to take advantage of this.

Keep up the good work Trooper! First Team!

Re: Sad Panda - (An Infantryman's FJ Build)

They say the rear should settle in over time, but does the front just look kind of low to anyone???

Re: Sad Panda - (An Infantryman's FJ Build)

nope, i think it looks great. you can settle it faster if you put some added weight in the rear for a little bit. I REALLY like those wheels.

Re: Sad Panda - (An Infantryman's FJ Build)

Measuring from the tread of the tire to the bottom of the fender flare my front was 1/2" lower than the rear. when i first put it on it was just over 3/4"

Re: Sad Panda - (An Infantryman's FJ Build)

This is what my front coil overs are currently set to, the rear looks a lot higher in person than it does in the previous picture.



And CV needs to be addressed...

Re: Sad Panda - (An Infantryman's FJ Build)

Honestly I don't remember. It seems like mine were down a little further so that the second coil was at the bottom of the thread. Pull a tape from the ground in the center of your wheel/tire to your fender flare, and post up the numbers. Mine was level side to side and 1/2 rake to front.

I'll take it to Sprockets and get it measured, failed to locate a tape measure all day -_-"

The new tail lights are in and should be installed any day now. The bushwackers are being put off til after the paint gets fixed. Demello aluminum evil eye and hybrid sliders should be here next week, aluminum rear bumper is still being tested.
