The "Big O" shop in Poway does a very good percise job on the alignments, they have one of those fancy laser light jobs that really dial the front end in.

been a little while but here is my progress:
so i got the new k member in today and the adustable lower a arms. took about 5 hours with the help of a buddy. right now i'm waiting on my new BMR springs that are scheduled to show up on monday, trick or treat bitches i've been ordering all the new bushings and spring mounts and all that good stuff. all moog, not cheaping this one out. the stock stuff has about 114k on it so it needs replacing anyway.
all i can say is it's a real pain in the *** (the k member), but there is so much more room under the car now. well worth it. i'll post more as i get more done and pics. i'll have some stuff coming up for sale as well so keep your eyes open

okay, since this thread has gone in a different direction, i'll be posting the rest of my pictures and results in the suspension section. i'm pretty much done with the install, right now i'm waiting for my new O2 sensors to show up so i can get the car smogged, registered and aligned. for those that were interested in the cost of the whole project with alignment you will find it in the other thread once it's done. i did, however, find out some interesting information about certain UMI parts, but you'll have to check the other thread for that
