Installed. Yes the rear suspension needs to shave off at less 5mm before can fit into joint. For the front, I have to go scape yard to find a DC5 steering ball joint cause the original ES version too small.

Funny thing is, after I install, I send my car to Leong Seng for alignment, after doing it for sometime, they told me my car seems to sway to the left and they CANNOT fix it! Refund me and ask me to go somewhere to do!!! :x

U cannot anyhow to adjust ride height, it will change the camber offset & slightly affect overall alignment!
