Looking at 350 to 400 bucks to get it done

thats way cheaper than new tyres for 17's every 3 months

what coil overs did u put on it. And yeah pics would be awsome

I purchased camber bolts and shims from Whiteline, wasn't too expensive. The bolts replace the top suspension bolts and are slightly longer than the standard ones, each shim adds about .3 of a degree camber. I guess-timated the amount of camber I needed to add, and took it to the workshop afterwards to check front and rear camber and wheel alignment.

I also purchased a front kit, which allows camber adjustment, and also adds a bit of positive caster for good measure.

I would recommend taking the car to a workshop to get this fitted (unless your dad's a mechanic, like mine :P). And definiately take the car to a workshop to check wheel alignment and suspension settings if you fit the kit yourself.

I have coilovers and is sitting about 60mm off the ground, camber is a bitch, looks great but as ppl say, tyre wear is huge, pedders want just for the rear camber kit $600 without installation, i didn't bother asking for the front but, i got some Skunk 2 front and rear camber kit from oversea's and paid $540 including shipping, i now have no camber but i put 1 degree back on as handling went out the window, so dont buy from pedders if u want to get out of it for cheap
