Once i get my coilovers (within a couple weeks), i would like to also upgrade my rods and maybe RUCA's. Is there any special tool(s) i need to install the components? Or can it be done with simple hand and power tools? Afterwards, can a local alignment shop adjust everything correctly or do i have to take it to a special performance alignment shop?

 

yes. yes. and yes.


just basic stuff BUT set it up the same on both sides.

 

what kind of tools would i need?

 

Air gun, sockets to make it easier.

The usual 14,17,19mm sockets and wrenches. Oh and a beer.

 

Always a beer for LandHo. Thanks guys. I'd want to get all the components from the same maker. Should i go all KAZAMA!?!?

 

Kazama is good, so is tanabe (tanabe USA is actully an importer for kazama so that might tell you something) JIC has good stuff but sometimes pricyer. New tension and tie rods and tie rod ends will help alot.

 

I think i'll go mad JDM

 

um, tanabe, jic, cusco, and kazama are all jdm. Only parts that are usa made are battle version.

 

Come on. JIC, Cusco, Tanabe aren't crazy JDM. A guy drifting with crazy hair and driving with his whole body out of the car ... Now thats crazy JDM. Haha just playin...

Rodeo Status...

 

Kazama the driver and Kazama the company are not related what so ever.

Go with whats instock.

 

Oh damn, my bad ... In that case, i'll get whatever is in stock and has a reasonable price

 

if ur going the same route im going all kazama some of their parts require different tools... tension rods need like a 19-20 mm allen key... sucker is huge

 

Damn thats huge, almost an inch

 

Its not that big, like a 16 or 17 FOOL!!!

Its only on the T/C rod.

 

That's how I Tip my mechanic, A 6 pack of heiny's. ppl ask me if my mech is expensive. I'm like no not at all just bring him a 6 pack and ur good.
