Great, Tell us about the kit you ordered. As for the alignment I recomend before going to the alignment shop, go to your local parts store and buy two caster/camber kits. You'll need them for a proper alignment. If you buy them yourself they will cost about $100. If you let the shop provide them they'll cost you about $70 ea. You will need two kits. Good luck...

I haven't heard any of this before? There should be enough room within factory adjustments to get an alignment without additional parts.

Sweet. ya, i just checked my goodies that are enroute.... I got my drilled/slotted rotors coming in this afternoon for my Exploder. Paid $179 shipped for all 4 corners including ceramic pads. I can't wait for the brakes not to friggin pulsate my leg off. I've been running the backs since i bought it with the rotors all rusted on the surface which is what is causing the pulsing. It had been setting for like 2yrs when i got it.
i don't think I have even been this excited for adding to my beater vehicle...lol

Makes me think that a mod is a mod regardless f what vehicle it goes on or what it may be..haha

Make sure you take some pics with them at your door...lol
