I just installed neuspeed sport springs and tokico illuminas all the way around my car. The drop looks great, except for one thing: the camber.
So here's the thing: I'm looking at ingalls camber correction kits to install on the car myself. I was just wondering how hard it is to dial in the correct camber by yourself.
If I can't do that, how much (ballpark) will it cost me to just have the camber correctly dialed in.
I also need to have the car aligned.. Should I just do the camber at the same time? Or will I have to have the car realigned after I fix the camber?

just install the camber kit and when you take it to the place to get it aligned they'll adjust it too.

Will it cost any extra? I got a quote from Les Schwab (theives), and they said they'd install the camber kit for 750 dollars. :spit: I would have hung up right there, but it was a message on my voicemail.
They also said the alignment would be 60 dollars all the way around. Who knows what they will tack on for camber correction.

when they do the alignment they adjust the camber, toe in/out,etc so if you have the camber kit they will adjust it to be as close to stock as possible. the camber adjustment is included in the alignment. i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that they will adjust the camber too.

Alright, thanks 94.. Is it that tough to put the actual camber kit on? Probably easier than the springs and struts right?

i just installed rear ingalls kit, the good one not the washers.
it took about 10 minutes per tire, easiest thing i've done so far
i also bought the skunk2 front kits, haven't put them on yet
as far as adjusting the camber its really easy, and i went by the 2x4 level method and got it close enough until i can get it aligned, but of course http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=114910&goto=newpost so i had to adjust it back
