What are the torque specs for the control arms?
Did you use the supplied grease or can I/Should I use my own suspension grease?
TIA

Hey Chris!.............>>
LOL...The (1) instruction included with the kit specified 53 ft lb. You going to do both top and bottom? I assume you've looked at my install pics. Call me if needed: Cell: (252)258-7502

It's not the wheels, it's the camber issue after you lower the car.
At least with Roadsters. My Camber could not be adjusted and it's bad.
I do not wish to have inner tire wear issues (I would like the new 18" $$$$ tires to last as long as possible).

I'm going to try just installing them on the top. That might just do the trick.
What about the grease?
(and I suppose I could have opened the kit to read the instructions first : - )

Well, I can only speak for myself. It made a difference (excess Camber) in mine.
Bad Dave needs camber correction too.
When I had my car aligned it would not adjust beyond -2.7 degrees of Camber. I think acceptable is -1.7 degrees.
I'm not sure if this is more of an issue with Roadsters.
Sorry I'm not doing a good job answering your questions.

Good tip... Thanks!
I thought upper because I want the top of the tire/wheel to move out. If I adjust the lower, I'll be moving the bottom of the tire/wheel in.
I was "thinking" it would look better in the wheel well things were moved out vs. in.
Probably makes no difference.
Thanks for your advise.
