Default How do you adjust camber angle?

I just got FRPP handling package for my 5.0. The dealership installed a camber kit during their intallation of the front sway bar. I forgot to tell them I wanted it negative camber, so now it sits positive. Is it hard to adjust them? If not, can you also do an alignment yourself?

They adjusted to give you POSITIVE camber

I am pretty sure factory is .7° and I run 2° on my own car. Sounds like somebody messed up and owes you a reasonable setting. When you brought it in, did they say it would be OEM specs or did you ask for specific settings?

Factory preferred for the S197's should be -0.75° (with a range from 0° all the way to -1.5°), so you shouldn't ever have been given positive camber.

Did your FRPP package include springs as well?

Depending on what sort of "camber kit" they installed, adjusting camber can be a pretty simple job (and even measuring it to see where it's at or how far you've got left to go isn't all that tough). But I'd need to know whether you got camber plates or some sort of camber bolts (the plates are the easy ones to work with).
