      I own a mac too. The host site sometimes "loses" the pictures..

      Try looking at them directly:

      See if that works, if not, I will repost them/host them, or email them if i still have them on mine.

      yeah I'm completely sol I've check on a windows laptop and it doesn't show anything either unfortunately.
      really all i need is something that i would have to modify, I've read plenty on grinding the top of the spindles just wondering if theres anything else i have to do. also if it'll make me have negative camber or positive camber.

      pulling all the way out with the bolts in the kit puts me at about -.75-1 degrees with @ 4" drop. Which is about perfect for that height in my opinion, as long as you adjust the toe to as close to 0 as you can.. if anything minimal toe out.

      Less drop give you less - degrees until about a 1" drop in front gets you close to 0. But if you don't want a large amount of drop, just get springs. You will prefer that ride for a 1.5" or less drop. If you want 2.5 or more, this is the cheapest way to do it acceptably. (not recommended for taking your girlfriend down any back road rendezvous if she is more than a C cup).

      I work over 70 hours a week, and spend most of my free time with my wife and kids. My aveo is in a huge project right now so I don't frequent the site in my normal activity like when I drive it daily. I will make it a point to get a few guys a round of end links, and the help they need. The major thing you need to do is add a washer to the bottom of the rear strut mount. And always, modify the bump stops on the coil overs. Cheap coil overs come with oem style bump stops that are too tall for low heights.

      yeah I'm trying to get everything down to zero with my alignment once its lowered where i want it.
      i was thinking maybe a 2 inch drop if its not low enough i'll go a tad bit lower.
      honestly never had so much difficulty with coilover until i got this aveo5 haha
