Be prepared to cut the metal backing plates that come with the OEM front upper arms. See blox/skunk camber install in suspension forums

Die grinder, dremmel, pneumatic saw... whatever is available should to the trick
infact this is easyer since you are removing the whole shock/spring assembly

Check the orientation of the wheel/tire to ground with a level to dail in rough neutral camber after lowering the car down

Tighten the allen bolts on the camber kit after installation

Be gentle with the rear subframe hardware as it is brittle and may need to be replaced if using an impact gun to break it loose

With the teins; set them to the stiffest setting by clicking full right and countback 8 clicks to get a nice starting point for tuning

Also clean the seat where the ball joint sits and use some lithium grease or similar to prevent prematur wear
