Half kit rear, but it looks like you're fronts are out of spec too, it gets expensive if you want to try to correct that.

I installed the stage 1 KMAC strut tower kit, its been a pain to work with, so as much as I love KMAC, I'd have to advise against their kit, at least the stage one. It was damn near $400.

Camber and toe are the important things to watch.

my right front cambers are in the border line. i think the rears cambers are the bad ones. so i should be fine with half kit? i dont feel like paying 135 everytime i take it to the stealership for alignment.

alignment is alignment, this will allow you to pull it into spec, it doesn't mean you won't need to get alignments anymore.


I get an alignment every time i put new tires on the car, which usually means once a year.

screw the stealership...i just bought some eibach pro kit...havent installed it yet but i went on ahead and bought lifetime alignment from firestone....i think they had a special for $139.99 total of $149 after shop supplies etc...their normal price is $149.99 so check with your local firestone if u have in in your area...and plus u can use the lifetime alignment nationwide.

I need, or need to make, one poly bushing and I'll have a complete full set. Replaced the set from my accident last fall, and after inspection, found all the steel to be in good shape, just a split bushing. Good test of its durability I guess, I expected to see something bent.
