Help a newb?

I recently purchased a 00 EK Coupe and am trying to figure out what I need in terms of camber adjustment. I really dont know what is on my car as far as suspension other than its made by Skunk2 and is not adjustable. The tires had really bad camber wear when I bought the car and I would like to correct it. I have found kits like this:

is this all I would need to get all four tires aligned properly or is there another component. My car is on 15's and sits really low, if anyone can tell me what to measure to figure out my drop I will be glad to, here is a pic for reference in the mean time:



Thanks for any help!

if its camber you want to adjust then yes this is what you need!!!

unless your a neat freak you dont need the rear camber kit, just use washers!!! i lowered mine on skunks 2 struts and eibach sportlines, its about 1 3/4", i used pump shims they are like 1/16" thick. i left mine at 1 degree!!!

how i measure camber:

1 - 2 foot level
1 - digital angle gauge
1 - measuring tape

place the level on the fender (middle of the wheel) till bubble is level. 0 out your angle gauge. measure the distance of the top of rim and pull the level out so it is the same distance as the top (this will make the level the same angle as the tire). place your angle gauge on top of the level. there's your camber!! you may need a 4 foot level, the 2 foot on my car was just long enough to touch the fender and the ground.
