Haha. Didn't know you were taking video.

 

Drives great, but it pulls to the right when I brake. Alignment's off too and Pulls to the left on freeway. Could the brake pull be related to the alignment?

No.....that's the calipers....one is grabbing harder than the other......

 

......................we can take'em all apart again and try to re-lube everything......

 

 

Left on the freeway could be alignment......especially if it just started after the swap...

 

............if it was there before....it could also be the tires....

U know now that u mention it I only lubed the sliders on the one I did. And forgot about the other contact points. Derp...

 

Yea it didn't pull in the freeway before. I for sur need an alignment cause I never did one after the new wheels n tires.

I measured the new height and it appears It only lowered it an inch an an 1/8th. Gadamit!! Not enough. So I will have to do something about that.

Well I don't want to cut the tubes just yet. I'm gonna use the zx tops cause I heard you get an inch more travel with them but I know I have to trim them to fit so I'll tackle that next shop day.

The zx tops give u an extra inch of travel, but the diameter is bigger than the 510 ones so they have to be trimmed to fit inside the strut tower. No camber plates, Santa wasn't that generous this year.
