I was pretty sure the 2000 did not have rear coil springs?

You are mistaken. It has coil springs and shocks in the rear. No leaf springs.

Thanks SMJ. Didn't know it was so simple. My mechanic said he would do it for $150 because it involved drilling out some suspension part.

Guys,
Have any one of you installed camber adjustment bolts to the R50 Pathfindders? I have a 2001 and there is significant amount of camber in my wheel and it is causing improper wear on my tires.

Thanks,
Julian

Most auto parts store don't just resurface captive rotors. They have to be turned on-car. The hole in the center is too large for any of their cones.

I have tried many auto parts stores. It was cheaper to replace the rotors than turn them on the car since labor is free (my own time).

My 2001 R50 (LE) came with the GPS option for $1300 more.

Has anyone done a Airlift 1000 install on a 2001 Path (R50 body style)?

If you have, does it involve removing the springs and drilling a hole for the piping or can the hole for the bump stops be used?

Thanks!
