I can't remember if you're still overseas or not, but I can recommend Eds Tools. They make the Hudy tools (and others), so it's high quality but for half the price.

I recommend these blocks: http://www.absolutehobbyz.com/produc...oducts_id=6607
And one of these two gauges, depending on how fine you want to get and what range you'll be in (I have both): http://www.absolutehobbyz.com/produc...oducts_id=6608 and http://www.absolutehobbyz.com/produc...oducts_id=6611

I just wish someone told me about these before I bought the Hudy branded ones
I have droop blocks / gauge set by dynamite

That's what I used to measure the droop after following instructions. The arms were +5 or higher. So I adjusted then to 2 in rear and 3 in front like my other cars as a staring point.

I was just finishing and attaching dampers and noticed the that arms need to go up a bit to connect to dampers.. So my droop settings off the blocks of 3 and 2 are not sufficient. So I'm totally confused now lol.

Last.. I like the transponder idea but where is the stay? Is it not included in the kit?
