your not going to be able to dial the necessary amount of camber to make these sit properly.

and with how wide these will be its going to look 4x4. if still possible, i would do all of the coilvers, rolling, camber adjustments at the same time. so when the car is at its right height it will also help you determine how much your going to have to pull.

this is true.. only issue is im waiting on a check before i can get the coils.. and my front tires on my ap1s are BALD.. so i need to get the tires/rims on.. blah.. i guess roll and pull for this setup on stock with as much neg. camber as i can and when the coils come if i have to re-rent the roller so be it? kinda sucks but thats where Im at right now..

If your able to hold off and wait, doing what s2sik recommends is the best choice. It will cause less of a headache because you can determine how much to roll, how much camber, and your height adjustment.

Doing it at separate times makes it tough because you would have to guess and what not. It becomes a pain in the butt.

Waiting would be perfect.. But I really need to get new tires on it.. My fronts are downright dangerous right now how bald they are.. Blah this sucks but it's lookin like I'm gonna have to run it this way and maybe roll just enough to get them to fit for now and re rent the roller (local guy has one) when the coils are in..other than it being a pita are there any issues doin it that way?

only issues are more time,money and effort if you cant wait a few weeks. Its so much easier doing it all at once and when using the roller, applying the heat and going SLOW is key.

money isnt a huge deal.. he rents it to me for $50 so no huge loss.. but the effort and time I know will be muuuch longer than doing it at once.. but like i said.. my fronts are downright unsafe right now.. thanks for all the input guys.. looks like ill be doin it twice :/rims arrive Tuesday mounted Wednesday and Rolling will be done on Thursday.. I will post with my results!

Thanks again!
