Camber kit install
How hard is it to install the front and rear camber kit on an 02 civic ex. I went to an alignment shop and they said they would do it for 200 with the alignment. Is it worth it or should I do it myself? If I do it myself how long should it take and what tools do I need?

Rep Power: 0 You should install the camber kit yourself. For a noobie like myself it only took about 30 minutes. It's Only 3 bolts on each side of the back and one bolt on each side in the front. In my opinion jacking the car up and taking the tires off was more difficult then changing the camber kit. Figure the alignment would cost you 70 at the most, so they are charging you like $130.00 to install bolts. Such a rip off. So install the bolts yourself and then take the car in for an alignment.
