NEED HELP WITH SUSPENSION PROBLEM.
i bought KYB AGX, Sportline springs, and Omniman camber kit f/r and i installed it all. Now the problem is, i have the car throwing me to the right very badly, i hear like the plastic that covers the shock pole is spinning (don't know if its settling or whatever) and i don't know what to do? can someone please help me or something here?
Thanks,
-albert
EDIT: I also have no interior. could that be the reason why im hearing noises fromt shock/spring?

First of all you NEED to get an alignment any time you install any sus components, ESPECIALLY camber kits.
those kits fix the camber alright, but when changing camber it RUINS the toe settings and those need to be adjusted back to dead center in order for the car to drive right and wear tires evenly again. Right now your car and tires are far WORSE off than before until you get a good alignment done.
Also you cannot be certain that your camber is even all around even if the kits are set equally because sometimes the specs will be different and one side might need to be readjusted, etc.
What year is your car? I can suggest some good camber/toe settings if you tell me what car you drive.
As far as your noise goes, that's an impossible thing to diagnose via the internet IMO. Sounds like something has been installed incorrectly - no offesne intended.

Yes, get your alignment and camber adjustments done in a shop. Although your tires may look perfectly straight, it still may be needing adjustments, etc. I know I did.

Depends on the competance of the alignment tech.
Those kits are kind of a pain in the *** to adjust, but if you know what you're doing and you're patient it can be done pretty easily. Those kits are identical to the Skunk2 upper A-arms pretty much, which require loosening 4 allen bolts to get the desired adjustment, then you torque them back down.
Rear camber is adjusted by added/removing shims where the upper control arm bolts to the chassis.
