Simple suspension/wheel question..'87 TII tein s tech's + AGX's, and wheel fitment
I have a '87 TII that I am am wrapping up the engine work on and I am at the point where I will be installing my new Tein S tech springs and KYB AGX's, I also will be getting some summer rims w/tires.
My questions:
1) Am I going to need any other parts than the springs and shocks to do the suspsension upgrade, like camber adjusters or should I get it aligned or something after words?? Will the lowered ride height require any other mods to the steering or suspension? I have replaced stock suspension components but haven't installed the Teins or AGX's before.
2) I was thinking about running 17x 7's w/ +35mm offsets both front and back w/ 215/45-17 's........does this seem reasonable? Would 17 x 8's w/ 38mm offset be okay??

c'mon iwas being sarcastic, i can't believe no body chimed in, ever, maybe i shouldv'e said something like, " I got $2,000, and don't know how to drive, what mods should i buy?", then i would have other points of view.
But seriously, has any body ever ran this set up? The spirngs and shocks i know work fine together i was just wondering if you could get away without buying front camber plates? Those bolts i heard suck, and then for real, , $26.00 is probably a pretty crappy part huh?? i think the rear is supposed to suffer the worse increase in negative camber when lowering right? I'm only going down 1", so I hope the front will be okay for now and I'll install the mazdtrix rear camber link for the back. I had a real hard time deciphering which camber plates/pillow ball mounts would fit/work with the kyb agx's and tein s. techs, but was very relieved to have found a source for top of the line camber plates that do indeed work with my exact setup for a goood price, so hooorahh..
