    5100's are what about $200? and if you keep it at the 2.5 you should be able to get an ok alignment.

    I know this is worst case scenario, but what if your shocks fail and you take somebody out. I'm sure the lawyers are going to charge you more than your $1600 bucks for shocks and coilovers not to mention if you lose the lawsuit...

    about $2,000-2,500 - that's all. Be tough to bend those setups if you had the right spindles!

    Someone in another thread was ranting about his life experiences and how it gave him more perspective on a topic than the people he was arguing with. :p

    One thing on the Liability issue, and I've seen this happen. You have now put this on a public forum, and have been warned by a large majority of people... If this fails, and you hurt someone, it won't take a lawyer long to find this thread and use it against you in court.

    :eek: i just read this whole thread you are lucky you didn't blow yourself up. Or catch on fire at the least. And how did you not let any gas out of the shock? for that weld to be strong you need penetration and if you penetrated the wall of the shock guess what bud you let the gas out. ;)
