Installing Camber Kits
So i "should" be doing the suspension tomorrow. i will use the NTPOG link as referance but nowhere have i seen it say anything about installing camber kits.
I have an Ingalls Ball Joint camber kit for the front and Ingalls Anchor Bolts for the back.
For those of you that have done this please post pics, or a general idea of where they go. I'm the suxorz at suspension

the rear anchor bolts will be easy, as in you can do it yourself.
i don't have pics, but i'll try to be detailed.
if you look at your rear upper control arms, you'll see that it mounts to the chassis by using 2 bolts that attach near the shock towers. If you go into the trunk, and remove the lining, you'll see where these bolts attach with nuts. Take a 17mm socket, and get the bolt that is closer to you. Now, get into the car, and put the rear seat down. You will see 2 rubber circle things, that are covering up the access holes in the plastic for the other 2 bolts. Take your 17mm and get those out. (actually, do it 1 side at a time. drivers then passengers). At this point, you should be able to drop the control arm out (while it's still connected to the ball joint/castle nut) and you should have enough play to swing it out and around. You'll see that there's a long bolt where the control arm connects to the OE anchors. Take them out, replace with camber adjusting anchor bolts, and put it all back together.
for the fronts, you're going to have to find a machine shop, or have access to a press, and press the ball joints out, and press the new camber kit in. separate front ball joints, take the uca's out, and take em to a shop with the camber kit, and they should know what to do.

mine came in one box!
For the fronts, take a pice of pipe thats bigger than the top of the balljoint and a piece of pipe that just fits over the bottom. Clamp in a vice untill the balljoint pops out. The camber kit balljoint should go in pretty easy. If it needs pressing in just use the kits main nut to sinch it into the control arm.
