I got K member, A arms, and coilovers. Everything was fine untill I lowered the car to the ground after installing everything. To make a long story short, each of my front wheels are at least 1 inch inboard of where they used to be. I called D&D and they told me that after I got a professional alignment it would not be that way. He also told me all the mounting points are identical to the stock k member I was very skeptical, and with good reason. The alignment shop laughed in my face when I told them what the D&D rep told me. I decided to get the car aligned anyways, hoping the D&D rep was right. Well he was wrong. The car just doesn't look right with each wheel being inboard an inch or so. So I decided to measure the the mounting holes for the Arms. Sure enough the D&D k member was about 2 inches slim. Has anyone else had this problem with the D&D or conversely NOT had this problem with other kits?
