The bolts you will get in the kit are internal triple square but it really does not matter because you wont have any access to their heads, except for a pair of needle nose vise grips on the outside of the head...unless you have a triple square tool thats no more than 1/4" long. Mine is like 3.5" long so it will not fit in there at all. But once the nuts are snug it will pull the head of the bolt tight and you wont really need to hold the head to prevent spinning with the nut.

Other tips? I donno, I hope you have an air gun with high torque 90 degree gun because mine would of NEVER come off using traditional hand tools. The nut at the subframe end of the part is buried in the subframe, you can barely get a wrench on it. I rounded it off, then hit it with an air gun at 120 psi for about 10 min, the bolt finally came off. Same issue with the nut on the wheel carrier side, although if you have 18" extension you can just clear the shock and get better access to that nut. The head of that bolt is buried under the dust shield, you literally have to bend the dust shield apart to get the bolt in/out there. Pretty silly.

Depending on how easy the nuts/bolts turn for you, this job could take an hour or could be impossible with subframe in. Good luck! I will try to take some pics of the fun.

I tried a novel approach: removing the dust shield.

I sit corrected.

The rear camber he is correct, not adjustable. There is a guy who made/makes camber plates for the 124, somewhere on this forum, partly for lowering the cars.

You might be fine on the springs. Look at the rubber pads at the top of the springs and count the bumps on the edge. The pads run to four bumps, all of the stock ones I've seen have three (more bumps = thicker = higher ride). The spring pads are fairly cheap and can be installed fairly easily with a spring compressor. Also, it is likely that replacing your spring pads with new will raise it as the original rubber pads are likely compressed significantly.

OK thanks I will check into spring pads. Its -2.8 on left rear so I gotta do something. I wonder how much more ride height it will take to bring it to spec.

You can also do a search in the performance paddock for camber adjust, I think that is where I saw the member's camber-adjust kit mentioned.
