Help with installing rear camber kit?

I dont know the first thing about installing this but my question is can I get the rear camber kit installed by one place and then drive to another place to get the alignment? The reason I ask is because the place where I go for alignments I have a lifetime alignment, but they want to charge $75 for each side. Way too much. I found another shop that will charge $65 to put both sides on. Is this ok to do. I just want to know if it is ok.

BTW, what all comes in the rear kit. I have both arms and 2 big nuts and 2 small small screws. Is that correct? it is the spc rear kit.

so basically you just take off the 3 bolts and take the old arm off and put the new one in? What did you do with the ABS wire? I dont have a torgue wrench to do this.

basically ya...
I dont have abs so didnt have to worry about that
i dont have a torque wrench either but i used my best judgement.

what i did was
1) take off the tire
2) kinda wedge the tire between the ground and the hub to hold it up
3) take off the bolt holding the hub
4) take off the 2 bolts attached to the car
5) set the kit slightly longer than stock
6) put the camber kit and attach the 2 bolts on the car
7) attach the 3rd bolt but dont tighten all the way
8) remove tire from the hub, set the stock jack under the hub and jack it up a bit. than tighten that 3rd nut/bolt(if you just attach it without jacking it up you might get some squeeks)
9) put tire back on

VERY good point! This is over looked by many. In ideal situation you would want the car sitting all the way down on all four tires before tighening the bolt that goes thru the bushing

ya i would have(done it while on the ground) and i know i'm tiny but i dont think i can fit under my lowered car

Sorry i dont have abs so no sure how the abs lines or what the wire looks like. shouldnt be too hard to figure out tho i dont think. If you take a picture of both i might be able to help you out.

just clip the abs on the kit same as it was on the factory arm, should be a place for it
