front camber kit is a walk in the park. Just make sure you tighten the 4 set screws because they come loose on the kit. I made that mistake in my excitement to go test drive it. very very loose feel. Anyhow, the fronts are easy, when you get to the rears, you may have some trouble. I couldn't get the bolt that went through thetrailing armout, so I wound up finding a bolt like it and just using a reciprocating saw to cut the bolt out. When I got it out the bolt turned out to be seized to the metal part of the bushing. So, I really had no other choice. Maybe you'll get lucky. Just a heads up though.

when i put my bumpstops on they were just sitting there and could move...the stock ones sat in that one spot you know but these just fell all the way down and will travel up. is this correct?
Mine actually got jammed up into the dust boot after some time.

I'm ordering that same camber kit... I've been driving around without one. How hard was it to install the camber kit?

i dont know about the rear but the front wasnt hard. just took some time because the bolts are hard to get to and you can only turn it like one time....i havent adjusted it yet though.

Its hard to tell, but that looks like a good hight to me. My back tires tuck and my fronts theres like ahafe a inchgap almost like that. You could probably go half a inch lower tho.
do your back tires wear unevenly because they tuck?
Nope. Not that I see.


Your car is looking mint jhsplaya08!. I cant wate to see it all dropped. Go for a photoshoot drive!
