OP sir_break_a_lot CEG\'er S Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 139 New York	I just bought a set of H&R sport springs for my 2.0 gl my question is.. the camber will probrably be changing, and since there is no camber setup on these cars, I will be needing to purchase a camber kit?? if one is made... is there? or do the strut mounts in the mods section satisfy my situation?? also, if they do, would I need 2 or 4(front,back)?? ALSO... I'm having a hard time replacing the rear sway(stabilizer) links.. AutoZone got me the wrong ones, and I'm wondering where I can get the RIGHT ones, besides the dealership.. any sugg? -Mike 96GL 2.0 Zetec CTA Intake SVT Exhaust

As to iff it will throw it off far enough to canuse a problem is hard to say. It would help to know what the existing camber readings are. Have you ever had an alignment and do you have the print out? There are front camber kits available. They are made by Specialty Products. You can often find them on eBay for about $100 a pair. The struts must be removed to install them. There used to be (and I think may still be) a good explanation about the need for the camber kits in the BAT catalog. Look through the suspension section. www.batinc.net Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited

Stazi sells endlinks for the rear. PM him for details. Or, you could just buy poly endlinks and rod ends and make your own. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results
