Default Camber Help?

Hey,

So I lowered my car with Sportlines and have yet to "correct" my camber as I should..
I found these after another member posted them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MUSTA...spagenameZWDVW
will they help set the camber back in specs or are they just useless?

also, if I have them installed how much wud be a reasonable price for a shop to charge? Any advice for what type of shop to go to? Firestone won't touch it cuz its already lowered (I guess they have a policy against aftermarket suspension for liability).. I dont know any shops locally that are good.. that would install these..

Thanks in advance for your input.

I've read that the camber might need adjustment if yo lower the car more than an inch. Not sure your location but any aftermarket shop would install those bolts. My question would how can you tell if the alignment is off before the tires start rubbing?

They are the bomb! camber bolts are the lowest cost, best bang for the buck if you have to or want to reset the camber for lowering springs on the front. You cant do anything for the camber adj without adding parts after lowering. Up to about 1.5" spring drop on the front struts, the camber will probably be within factory "spec" ...but for less than $20 and 1/2 hour of my time I put the bolts on anyway and had it aligned to perfectly matched camber on both sides and the car handles perfect. Dont fear the bolts! As for cost to install, it should come with the alignment cost as its a about 5 minutes work to swap em for the stock top bolts on the strut assembly. If Firestone wont do em look for a midas or a performance muffler/tire/speed shop to do the alignment. Not a big deal for the install...

Should be an easy install even for someone who isn't a "gear head". I'm sure there is a write-up somewhere on how to do this too. I wouldn't waste money on a shop for a simple install. Good luck!
