Rich Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Tony that's not what you told me when I asked about going from 15's to 16's although at the time my car wasn't lowered. Does wheel size only matter when the cars been lowered then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i bring the car down, it wont probably have the turbo kit on, this shoudnt affect me gettin the set up done as id like to get that done as well, if yall show up, which ill post up when i do go down, that would be great to meet yall, it is good knowing the car is going to get sorted out in that sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Fred you can fit the track rod ends yourself. Just count the number of turns when you remove the old ones and put the new ones on whatever that number is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just count the number of turns when you remove the old ones and put the new ones on whatever that number is   thanks buddy, i did read that, and also to mark the area on the t.r.e. threaded bit so that when it goes on, count the turns as well as make sure it reaches the mark u did earlier, i might fit them myself as well as when i do the camber adjuster kit kill 2 birds with 1 stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
