Trying DIY Camber Install
I'm about to attempt to put my camber kit on this weekend and wanted to know
a few things before I start this. Any help will be much appreciated
1) Do I need any special tools or anything aside from your standard wrenches and jack stands?
2) Is it safe to drive the car down to the alignment shop afterwards, its about 2 miles from here?
3) Any other advice will also be appreciated .... I read through the forums for info on the camber kits, it doesnt seem that hard, but as stated before any help would be appreciated.

No special tools required. when you install the rear kit, just make them the same length as the stock ones and you'll be fine until you can get it aligned. when I put my rear kit in years ago I made them 3/8" longer when for my Eibach Sportlines. So far so good..

Thanks for all the help guys ... I really appreciated. One last thing, does anyone have a picture of the front camber screw so that I make sure I'm replacing the right one?

Okay so i just installed the front camber bolts and im not sure if i did it totally correct. All i did was screw the bolts in, i kept the threading the same as the ones that were already on there. I think I should still have it realigned, but it doesnt drive like its out of alignment. I also made sure that the tabs were facing away from the tires so that it made the camber read slightly negative as that what most people were saying how hondas aligned. The piece that makes me afraid is that it said somewhere that I wasnt supposed to tighten the screws down all the way. Can someone explain this piece to me. I guess what im asking is how do you adjust the camber settings .... is it just by tighting the screw, turning that little tab piece. As far as i can tell its just another screw i put in there for 12 bucks. What makes this screw different from the stock one?

Also the bolt that i replaced was the upper one .... correct me if im wrong please.
