should i get a camber kit and put it on before i do my drop, im only going down abt an ince or so, with coilovers, im not too worried about tire wear over a few weeks, but i just was wondering if it would be easier to do while i have it broken down or should i just bring it to a shop and get them to put it on?
any help would be appriciated asap cuz i want to put in on in the next day or two

I always advise the camber kit for any drop; It gives you more options for alignment.

 

ok thanks, but what about installing issues?

 

I (as does HondaDude) always recommend a "Camber Kit" when performing a drop. The answer to your question you posed can be answered this way.
If you elect to use Adjustable ball joints as a Camber Adjustment method, you can pick them up before hand.
If you elect to use the offset bushing method, you'll have to wait until after the drop is performed to determine which offset value you need. The Offset bushings adjust within certain ranges and unlike the adjustable Ball Joints are NOT infinitely adjustable.

how much would adjustable ball joints be for front and back?

 

Installing a camber kit while you have the suspension apart, beleive it or not, will be a harder install. To install a camber kit you leave the tire on, remove the two nuts securing the achnor bolts to the frame, jack up the vehicle, hit the achnor bolts lightly w. a rubber mallet to drop them down, then swing the arm around and rest it on the tire as you remove the control arm to anchor bolts. I highly recommend using a torque wrench to re install the bolts to proper torque .. also make sure you put the bolt in the same way it came out b/c in case it comes loose it will keep the control arm intacted b/c the bolt will hit the frame instead of sliding all the way out (i found this out the hard way).
