Default Camber Help

The shop that is putting in my omni full coilovers says that they cant put in my cambers also because they dont do alignment. Does any body know any car shops that install and align cambers?

almost any shop that sells and installs tires/wheels could help you out there.

camber is a measurment not an item so you cant install them, you can get camber kits installed. camber kits are a must if you want to keep the treadlife of your tires optimal. im a brake/alignment technician for a living and my car sports eibach sportlines and no camber kits in the front got the good ol bolt and washer combo in the rear, i have virtually no uneven tire wear.

check out your local phone book bro...from there just find some import shops and call them up and ask if they'll do the installment....easy as that..
