Have a great day!!

i can see through the 20% tint... i think it's just right!! even at night! check out rocky mountain tint in livermore.. great people!


Hey everyone,

I was wondering what you guys used to cut those bushings. I lifted the rear today to cut one rib but i was having a hard time cutting the bushing with a PVC cutting wire...

this is what i used:
*PVC Cutting Wire**


And here is the outcome:



I also lowered the front a bit too.. I added two complete turns, so 5 turns total in the front.. and 3 1/2 turns (stopped because of bushings) in the rear... I like how the front turned out, looks good.. may be a little low.. but didn't go all the way down to the bushings... should be ok, and even better when i lower the rear...

All i need to know now is, how can i cut one rib? what tool should i use?? even after i get one rib out, how do i cut it in half so i can pull it out???

Thanks again ladies and gentleman!! i really appreciate your help and feedback.

-Mark

Remember Mark that if you move the front any lower then it was when we aligned it, the negative camber will increase and start to wear the insides of the tire more. Keep a close eye on it and if needed, we can adjust later if it is wearing them out more.
