[QUOTE="kj385, post: 5557994, member: 3268"] It's not that I didn't read the instructions first. The car was in a wreck and all the wheels were trashed. Some lowlife kids put jagged boulders in the road at 3am on my way home from work one night. I was on a dark unlighted road in the shadows of the rolling hills. The speed limit was 45 and I was going 50 but had almost no time to react. I ended up with a broken steering rack, bent k-member, dented oil pan, four bent/broken wheels, dented exhaust and some caliper damage where the bent wheels rubbed them. The body is perfect with no damage. The rocks were just the right size to clear the bumper but hit everything else. Since it all had to come out to be replaced there was no way I could put stock stuff back in. Especially when insurance is paying for the damage. They pay for stock parts and I just pay the difference for aftermarket. I figured if I'm going to do it I may as well go all the way. It's not the way to get an upgrade but it's a silver lining I guess. :( Anyway the car has been on jackstands eversince so I didn't get to do a before measurement. I did check it years ago but lost the info. [/QUOTE]
