I just did this yesturday, and thought i'd share. Someone else did a engalls DIY, well here is the SPC. I bought the kit on ebay new for $150.
First of all, lift up the front of your car and support with jack stands. After removing your wheels, procede to remove the upper arms http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...ght=camber+kit
This is what happened to my tires after only one year rolling on a -1.5 camber. This drop is on neuspeed sport springs, a 1.75 inch drop. I rotated my tires often enough, but anyhow, here they are:
SPC camber kit, adjusts from +1.5 to +3.0. It is an adjustable upper ball joint.
Get yourself a nice big hammer, and go to work on getting the old ball joint out. Hit it with the control arm upside down.
It's hammer time!
Follow the instructions that come with the kit. They are very simple. The only thing you have to do is press the bottom plate of the kit into the upper arm. I used the trusty hammer for this to. Be careful though, you have to have the plate lined up correctly with the mark on the upper arm.
Here is the finished result.
I'm not sure if the folks at SPC are backwards thinkers or what, but the instructions said to make the camber more positive by moving the knuckle inwards towards the car. This is the reverse of reality. You will see that this is the case when you try it. Moving the knuckle towards the car makes the camber more negative, not positive.
After installation, I took the car in for allignment, and they were able to fine tune adjustment to 0.0 camber left, and -.2 right.
So far I have driven over a hundred miles with this kit, and have had no problems whatsoever. No stange noises, no harshness, and no upper arm banging against the fender wall. The kit is supper easy to adjust with the wheels on the car. All you gotta do is lift the car, loosen the bolt on top of the kit, and slide the knuckle inwards or outwards. Then tighten the bolt back down to 95 ft lbs. I give the kit a
