Default Camber Problems

I installed some TEIN SS at my work yesterday. The installation went pretty smooth. I am glad I was able to use a lift because having the lude on jack stands in my garage would have been a bitch of an install. After installation, I attempted to align my car, but the machine could not read the specs because my camber was so off. What do you all recommend? I was wondering if the ingalls camber kit would fit on an SH. Does anybody know of a shop in So Cal that can align my car for a decent price. I was hoping not to get a camber kit, but I think I might have to. What camber kits do some of the other SH's have in the forum?

Anchor bolts will NOT work on the front of a 5th gen. You will need to use adjustable balljoints from SPC or Ingalls to correct the Camber. The units you need will be determined by the alignment printout. The rear of your car can use the anchor bolts or balljoints, whichever is easier for you and again depending on the alignment data. Both SPC and Ingalls have applications for the rear as well.

lol, just from researching . jc386 knows a great deal about the kits and his posts in the archive is where i gained most of my knowledge about them.

-Project Penny: Search for camber kits in the archive and you should find a good bit of info on them.

This is the thread i created recently to try and decide which type of kit to use. It may be of some help to you. Just remember that i have a 4th gen and the 5th gen differs in the front.

Before you go out buying stuff how low is the suspension set to? Since those camber machines should be able to read in excess of 5 degrees of camber and there's no reason that you should be anywhere near that regardless of how low you set the car. Personally I think there's something wrong with the install at this point in time.
