    i'm rethinking what i did to my suspension and i wish i left it stock because its a bitch to service and the dealer charges a shitload. the problem for me is the camber adjustment its continously adjustable.

    Vamps DIY is awesome, but if you want more info for your gen, I will give it to you, plus some options.....but vamps DIY is very comprehensive and you cant go wrong by following it...... I am in a 97 lowered on TRD springs....

    Ok, do anything vamp said to do, but one think vamp didnt do is keep the brake lines in the brackets. When I did my car I kept the brake lines in their stock locations, by clamping the brake lines....BUT this can be a pain if your brake line brackets are corroded, they can be tough to get off.....but if you decide oyu want to do it, you have to be fast, you cant just leave them blocked overnight, your brakes wont work when you reattach them, you have to be fast once you block them....

    other than that follow vamps DIY, from what I see it has everything you need to do it right.....
