eXNBP is an unknown quantity at this point
How do u know it's at -2.7 degrees? The point in getting the camber kit in the first place is to be able to adjust the camber on both left and right equally correct closest to the manufactors tolerance level. Get your alignment checked at a local shop, and have them adjust the camber kit for you. $70 well spent. Unless you eye it, which wouldn't be too accurate. But take my suggestion and put the camber kit on yourself and take it to a shop to have it adjusted by the correct alignment machines.


Edit: just saw you already have had your alignment, void everything I said above. What alignment shop did you take it to? Les Schwab redoes the alignemtn within 30 days. I would install the camber kit's myself bro [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] There are 3 17mm bolts to take off the rear. And just put it back together the opposite way you took the upper control arm off. For the front it should be just a bolt. Also might want to tell everyone what kind of camber kit you have. I only have experience with the SPC one[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

ya i agree with him. install them yourself and get it re-aligned. no point in getting a camber kit when its going to be off with it.

eh, i recommend you get an alignment(they'll adjust it for you) but ya since you want to do it yourself, just a wooden block as a guide.. the front should be a 90 degree to the ground and the rear 90.45 degree?

On the sheet they gave back to me, my camber was set at -1.3 on left and right. The tolerances were anywhere from 0-2. You don't want 0 all the way on the rear, You want a little bit of negative to hug those nice 90 degree corners
