member Norcal ss for belltech and djm
or go to timssuspensiononline.com for mcguaphys.
Or summit for ground force spindles

You might need a camber kit if you use belltech spindles with the struts.

usually the camber kits are the ones that lock the control arm in place. if your stock ones max out like mine then youll be out of spec. but with the new camber locks it gives more room to adjust the camber. i used bushings since the locks needed you to drill and dremel a bit off the control arm mounts. i dont know how or if they still require you to do so. the bushings were pretty straight forward, i just replaced the stock bushings.

its a hit and miss. you may need them or you may not. like i said, i was out by .2* not much but over time it may cause uneven tire wear. i think if i had to do it over again i would have gone with ground force spindles. the mcg spindles had a problem with the lower balljoint not seating properly. i think they fixed the issue now. i did my drop 2 years ago.
