i have heard rumors of berts bending things on your suspension to get the camber good.......does this seem right?(on cars that are only like 1.5'' lowered)

only go there if you want a permanent camber adjustment...i went there and he made it sound all great what he was doing, well now i can't raise/lower my car or else the camber will be messed up. and i have coilovers too.

raising ride height = adding positive camber
lowering ride height = adding negative camber

Dude my friend went to burts......they fucking welded some of his suspension shit together to adjust the camber.....once yur car is dropped, and berts adjusts it, it has to stay that way, unless u wanna change yur whole suspension. NOT RECOMENDED UNLESS U WANT YUR CAR TO BE DROPPED PERMANENTLY!

yeah jentegra is right....i believe they bend the knuckles on your car... this was years ago in 98 i believe when we had it done... if you want to undo the permanent adjustment you will just have to get some new knuckles from junkyard or dealership... don't quote me because i'm not 100% sure... my memory is fading w/ me getting older... they may do things differently now...
