Installing camber kit...

Hey everyone, ok i was wondering where i can find a how to page on how to install a camber kit, i got a obx camber kit if that helps. Also how do you adjust the camber withe the new camber kit and how do you know when your camber is good, thanks.

When i put the camber kit on, do i need to adjust anything or does the camber kit automatically adjust itself acording to the drop? thanks.

Its always recommended you get an alignment after you touch the suspension. When you get an alignment, they'll adjust it for you. You can always try to do it yourself but its never accurate and it kinda defeats the purpose of getting a camber kit in the first place.

most shops that can do alignments can put it in (will cost you alittle more of course) but if you do it yourselfe put the kit and the drop in at the same time wihile you have the stuff apart anyway

yeah the front is a special bolt, the alignment shop should know how to adjust it.
if you want to try and do it yourself.. just loosen the bottom one and the camber bolt and start turning the camber bolt. you'll see the camber move in/out

this is an old thread, but I didnt want to start a new one. Should I get an alignment again after I put the kit on. I have been lowered for a few months, and I got an alignment before I drove it anywhere. it is perfectly aligned now, but will I need another one when I put the camber kit on? Thanks a lot, PM me if you could.
