Default Can I go ahead and install shocks/springs and then camber kit later?

I got my shocks and springs in finally and i want to install them for a fun saturday night. My camber kit should be coming in about a week afterwards.

My question is will the camber kit install be any more difficult if i dont do it all at once... and just install shocks and springs?

Koni Yellows, H&R Race springs, and soon to be omni camber kit. Thanks. I get the concept of this, but wanted to check with all my knowledable honda friends.

Do it all at once. You gotta take off the shock/springs again to install the camber kit.

it's his money, let him do what he wants.

bottom line, get the camber kit installed soon, and dont do any agressive driving in the time being..

You don't have to drive "aggressive" to cause some bad inner tire wear if your camber is out of spec.

first thing everyone needs to know..camber does not wear tires NEAR as much as toe in does...

dont wait til saturday night if your gonna do this..get up nice n early, make some breakfast, and be prepared to spend all day doing this, unless somehow your in the one percent of us that do not have siezed bolts...

your gonna have to pull your suspension apart again once you get the camber kit, so you might as well just wait...besides..your toe in is gonna be way the hell off when your done, and you can burn through most of your tread in a week, even with grandma driving....just be patient and wait for it
