Lowering my Rd1 tib
Im lowering my RD1 tiburon today got some KYB struts n Eibach springs to put on, Just wondering if theres anything else Ill need for it? Will a front end alignment be necessary? Any helpful info will be great.

Yes you will need to ship them to my address ASAP lol not as long as you know for the most part of what your doing your alignment will be the same just be very careful with the tie rod and the struts going in and out dont force it patience will be the key

the rear end links may be a pain in the ass.. they were for me.. had to end up cutting the pass rear end link cuz we couldnt get the bolt off. otherwise a very straightforward, easy swap.

There are a trick to the links!! if you dont care about them, like you shouldnt... aleast i didnt when i installed my coil-overs. You will see what were talking about when you go to remove the link, there tuff, your going to find with you go to remove the bolt them b*tchs just spin and spin. But if you have a nice set of vise grips with some nice teeth, you can actually remove the little rubber boot with an X-Acto blade, then brag the small nut and part of the shoulder bolt with the vise grips and give it hell. That is how i got mine apart. Better to have no boot on it, then have to cut it off, and not have a sway bar out back, or have to buy more parts.

Hey, Yea you need a set of them, just to help keep the camber wear down, also i have a set on my car now, that i will Straight up trade for your four stock ones, once you take them off, i have Pillow tops, and dont need them and it actually makes it a bit of a pain to set when you have pillow tops and camber bolts. Let me know if you want to trade bolts, not extra cash, just a straight trade.
Camber bolts I would trade for stock bolts!!!
