CPP Mini Kit - Directions

Starting to install my CPP mini kit and I don't mean to sound like Mr Negative, but Wow... the directions couild have been A LOT Clearer!!!

1. The kit included two sets of regular type Cams and a Set of Lockout Cams?! (Why?)

2. I plan on using the lockout cams, but do I use the washers, as it says to use for the regular cams? (I would assume not since the lockouts don't need to be spun, right?)

3. I have all the K Member bolts loose, but the Control Arm Looks like it is going to be "pounded" in to place. ANyone else have to make the control arms into place?

4. I have to assume no washers are needed in between the A Arm bushings and the K Member? (hopefully that makes since?)

Thanks in advance.

The answer to 1 is, they just wanted people to have a choice.

The answer to 3 is yes, probably. says NOGO: "The A-arms are a pretty tight fit but they fit. If you are working on your back you may be cussing and yelling, but I would'nt know anything about that! "

As for the others, I don't know, I haven't done it yet.

#2-No, you don't need the washers if using the lock-out's. I used the cam's on mine and the alignment hasn't budged.

#3- They're a tight fit for sure, I was able to tap mine in with a rubber mallet.

#4-No washers are used between the A-arm bushings and the mounting surface.

#5- Make sure you leave the control arms loose, lower the car to the ground, then tighten em up.:D

Yes, the directions are real skinny. I tried to help and wrote my own:

Hope that helps...

Thanks for the quick responses !!!

It is a darn shame that I had rebuilt EVERYTHING on the front end about 3 years ago, but never got the car together and this kit wasn't available then either. So now I have a TON of parts, time and money in parts and I'll have to take a loss. Oh well, as long as this K Member allows me to track down the freeway, I'm in !! :)

Patiently waiting for my kit. They're out of stock on the uppers. Worth the wait though.

Directions!? You don't need no stinkin directions....

It's cake! And don't be afraid of the round eccentrics. They allow a finer adjustment than the octagonal ones. I've had mine on and been autocrossing for well over a year and this thing is ROCK solid!

I used the eccentrics too...never moved at all.bm

I used the eccentrics and they never moved but the batch I had tend to crack. However, CPP replaced them no questions asked.
