Believe mi amigo believe.

btw i was going to point that cupping is due to shocks but he has coilovers.. can his shocks on those go that bad quick??

I would agree if you were on stock suspension, but you said you got air runners so do you ride slam? Camber will eat up your tires with in less than 20k.

i have close to 40k on my michelin energy mxv4's and they still have PLENTY of life left. course i did a rotation (since they were free) every 2-3k and checked the tire pressure every week if the stupid things would fit my BBK i would put them back on for winter

I believe you on ur michellins Brian, but you were on stock suspension with those mxv4 no? Even if you had coils with ur mxv4, you probably wouldnt drive slam.

I just did it! - except for corner balancing. i'll do that in 6 months when i flip my tires.

Replaced Lower Ball Joints
Replaced Control Arm #2 (i bought OEM because it takes too long to press new bushings).
Installed EXACT RCA with upgraded 12.9 bolts, lock washers, and flat washers
Raised the front back up.... (can do a little higher.. because have a little fender rub)
New set of tires all around
4 wheel alignment.

Now i hope I'm good for another 6 months when i plan to send it to the shop again! Woot Woot!
