For the experienced...

I've been told that it is necessary for two things to be done after lowering the front of my 1999 Sport by torsion bar adjuster twist; 1) alignment, and 2) camber adjusters... what exactly are camber adjusters, where can I get them, and what do they do? (are they absolutely necessary?)

Also, I have already dropped the rear approximately 1 3/4" and I'd like to even the front out to the same height. Using the measurements I took before lowering the rear, I would need to lower the front driver's side 2 3/4" and the passenger's side 2 1/2"... I checked my torsion bar rating and the bars are rated 'H'... does anyone know whether I will be able to drop the front as far as I need to by using the twist?

I wouldn't worry with the adjusters. If you go to a good alignment shop, they will hook you up with the adjusters at a good cost.

trial and error, no torsion bars are going to twist that same, jus thte nature of the metal

I've asked many people what the adjusters are (what they look like, their purpose, etc) and all I ever get is that they're necessary. What are they?

The adjusters are a cam and bolt that replaces the upper control arm mounting bolts. They are used to adjust the caster and camber. Its a little difficult to describe what they are and how they work to someone without actually showing them exactly how they work.

Price?

What would be a good price that a place such as a firestone dealer would offer for the adjustors? Just a rough estimate to let me know what i'm in for when they align my wheels this Thursday.

Thanks
