Get front and rears, SPC makes a great kit.

Ingalls also makes pretty good camber kits. Also, as was said, get front and rear camber correction kits.

ingalls makes about the same as skunk2 i have used both with excellent results from both. i would stay away from the rear camber kits that involve a bolt and some washers. i would get the type with the adjusting arm makes it look a sight better

you should go have your alignment checked, get a print out, and it'll say how much your camber and toe and all that greatness is off. Then decide how much correction you need and get a kit that allows that amount of correction.

i would stay away from the rear camber kits that involve a bolt and some washers. I did the washer, bolt trick. I sprayed them with underbody paint to prevent rust. You cannot tell that I did the upgrade, except for my wallet.

getting an alignment done just to see how far it is off would be expensive. i would suggest just looking around to get a good camber kit and then having it aligned properly after that is installed to save having to pay for two alignments

All the places i go to will check it out and give you the print out for free before they start work on it. Once they actually start doing the work is when they will charge you.

lifetime alignment plan would be nice, but driving 1.5 hours for it wouldn't be worth it to me.

I was thinking you were talking about http://www.discounttire.com/ I do not live in California, so the place your talking about is out of the question. Firestone is near me and their price goes for $139. Never knew they had lifetime alignments!! Thank You for the information GScivic7.
