yeah, they'll adjust it to where it needs to be. On the backs though, make sure there is 1/4" between the center part and the two ends. Otherwise they won't be able to adjust it and you'll end up pulling the rear end back off to fix it. Here's a picture if you don't understand what I'm saying.

well when people tell you the back will be harder...it depends. Cuz if they bolts aren't stuck (very unlikely), it is technically much easier and the geometry is easier to mess with. If they are stuck...have fun.

when i go and get my alignment, will they adjust the camber?
Start calling around now to find a shop that will do it. I'm sure some big national chain stores won't even touch it, since it's not factory. Another reason I think camber kits are unnecessary [8D]

are you kidding...you obviously haven't done it yet. I actually took the lca out of the car, with the bolt broken through it. I used a hydraulic press to try to push the bolt out, no good. I let it sit in pb for a day, still no luck. I ended up DRILLING the bolt out of the bushing. pb blaster, at least for the bolts through the bushings won't help much.

It's the bolts you have to take out, you may get lucky, but more then likely you will have to saw them off. In which case you need new bolts (they're like 7 bucks each where I got them) I needed 4 of them.

Ok, the bolts in green are easy to take out and the ones in red are going to be a PITA. Chances are you'll have to cut the one for the camber kit out but with enough heat, pb blaster, and more heatthe strut oneshould come loose. "SHOULD". I can't express enough how much heat and pb blaster will help. AND DON'T USE AN IMPACT!! It'll just round off the head. Use a breaker bar and the 14mm socket. Here:
