The fronts first- this is where most of your weight is and where your drive wheels are. You can just put some spacers in the back if you're not too cambered. Even without camber correction in the rear, your tires should be fine for a while.

In any case, a 4-wheel alignment is essential.

Install it and have them dial in the proper settings when it's aligned.

If you're having to use camber kits to keep your tires alive, you're too low. Get Tein springs with Integra spring rates and put them on Koni Yellows or KYB AGX's and you'll be happier. You won't be dumped, but you'll handle.

you can either get an adjustable rear arm or you can use washers with your stock arm.. just put the washers as a spacer between the chasis and compensator arm and it would move the arm outwards in effect correcting the camber.. how many washers to put depends on what drop you got... the more you drop the more washers you'll need to neutralize the camber so the tire sits straight instead of being tilted at the top (negative camber)
