I have a set of Evo-R carbon fiber side blades in very good condition that I no longer plan on putting on my car. Let me know if you are interested. I thought I would give MAZOC first shot before I posted them on the forum parts section.

I can post some pics soon. Thought I had some in my phone, but not of these. I also have some slightly damaged CF side skirts available. The damage is minor and only visible when the door is wide open and the forward-most corner is visible. Great price on these items.

Called a few shops in the area and was quoted around $500 for spring, cabmer arm, and toe bolt install. I'd rather not part with that kind of cash, especially considering I'm pretty confident in this forum's DIY section and my ability to do the install.

How bad do you guys think the wheels will be out of alignment if I mark everything in it's original position and bolt it back up the same? Can most chain shops do the alignment?

dude.. just watch a youtube video and do that sh1t yourself.

Do the alignment solo?

I'm definitely doing the springs/cabmer arms/toe bolts this weekend. I'm going to knock out the spring install after work with a buddy who used to build dragsters, then do camber arms and toe bolts on Saturday. Yes, I know it'll be faster just to do all together, but I'll run out of daylight by the time I get to them.

MightyBobo · 03-20-2014, 10:58 AM

I think the alignment should be done professionally.

Actual installation? Solo.

eastwest2300 · 03-20-2014, 01:59 PM

Yeah, you cant do the alignment yourself, but everything else, save your money and do all of that yourself.

Springs and camber arm installs are unbolt, remove, replace, rebolt.

But the toe bolts will be larger diameter than the OEM ones, so those holes will have to be drilled out

for the new ones to fit. But not so much that there is flex in them.

I checked out the DIY and picked up the correct Dremel bits and the suggested flex cable to work in the confined space under the car. When you say that there could be "flex in them", what specifically are you speaking about?

I was just going to apply the template centered over the existing hole for the toe bolt, mark off the area to be drilled, then remove the material. Are you saying if I don't use the template and/or don't center the template over the existing hole, I could create problems?

1. If you drill the hole out too much, the camber bolt can flex in it.

2. Yes, if you use the template and are careful you should be fine. Centering it will be necessary since it is an alignment part.

If you follow the instructions, you shouldn't have a problem.

Thank you for the heads up, I'll measure twice, cut once, and make sure it doesn't look like a 2nd grader took a plasma cutter to it
