Testing the new camera
Just some quick photos to test my new camera. The cell phone wasn't cutting it anymore. Close up photos of the brakes are in Post 15

I used dental floss and WD-40 to remove the chiclets and get a clean look.
Really, it's surprising, but removing them makes a bigger difference than can be expected logically.

Shop?? No shop needed, brother. How far is Lakewood from North Hollywood? I can drop in this weekend and help you out. It's a cake. Just a matter of jacking the car up and threading some bolts.

Lakewood is near the Long Beach airport. I was thinking about doing myself since I have a lift at my work. I want to have the alignment checked after lowering however. Also want to take some measurements first since I'm running a 325 tire on the rear.

Up to you, man. My offer stands. Alignment is smart. The lowering is a 30 minute job. Strangely, its easier to do on the ground in my opinion. Hard to explain, but it has to do with getting some weight under the spring to relieve a-arm pressure on the bolt pad, allowing it to thread easier. Shoot me a pm if you want to tackle it Saturday.
