Default Susp. bolt on installed by Luke (camarojunky74) A++++

I ordered some lower control arm relocations brackets about 3 weeks and ago and they have been sitting in my room since then. I needed a local guy who knew his stuff to install and finally found out that Luke could do it (camarojunky74-Chino/Corona area). Keep in mind I have no tools and no mechanical skill whatsoever. Well, we finally set up a time today and he installed them for me. He took his time and did a great job. The launching was night and day!!! No more wheel hop and it seems like the car launches how it should now!!!

To let you know where I was before, I had the eibach proki installed and nothing else, plus with some 18 inch Sumitomos. So launching was a problem for me. Also, I didnt realize you had to do something with the brake line(e-brake)! The instructions didnt mention anything about it but good think Luke let me know about it.

Just wanted to let you guys know about the install and about a good local guy who can install all your bolt ons(He also installed blackhawk02's headers) Sorry no pics, but I mean come on, picture red location brackets installed!

well they are all pretty much a bitch too get, the only thing i would say is it may be necessary to get a friend to help you and the most important part with doing anything is leaving all the bolts loose then tighten them all at once,

which bolts in particular you talking about?
