If you're not starting out with a coilover install as I did, you may be starting from a slightly better place...

I'd estimate I'll need to do this 5-6 times to break even on what I'd have paid a shop to do the work... ignoring the time investment. I won't have to re-level everything again, and future work will be all about tweaking numbers based on tire temp data, so it should not take me quite this long again. Till I swap springs...

Still, it's a lot of time, and the tools to do it 100% right aren't cheap at the entry level side of things... and they go up in cost from there.


What tool r u using? I'm seriously interested in getting something that I can use that's accurate! Even if it's a bit expensive.
