Here is the DIY information for installing the rear camber arms...I'd also like to thank mishima8 for the help. Here we go.

First jack the car and support with stands (you could also do one side at a time if you want, but my car was already on stands at all four corners anyway). Second, remove the rear tires. At this point, use your jack and place it under the rear lower control arm knuckle. Raise the jack up until the weight of the suspension is fully supported. Here is a PIC:



Remove the two 14mm bolts on the upper camber arm assembly.



Next, remove the one 14mm bolt on the upper camber arm where it connects near the brake disk.



Here is a PIC of all three bolts removed:



Remove the stock upper camber arm, and thread a socket extension through one end and then also attach the Skunk2 camber arm assembly. Doing this will allow you to adjust the Skunk2 camber arm so that it is adjusted to the exact same length as the stock one.



Here is a PIC of the other end showing the connection points being the same:



Once set, you are ready to install the Skunk2 camber arm assembly. First install and tighten until snug the 14mm bolt in the below PIC.



Next, push on the top of the brake disk assembly until the holes for the other connection point are lined up and then install and tighten until snug, the other 14mm bolts in the below PIC.



Once you are done with that, do the other side using the same process. Put the wheels back on, lower the car (this is important to make sure that the suspension is loaded before tightening) and then torque the three bolts on both sides as follows:

One 14mm bolt next to the disk brake: Tighten to 79 foot pounds

Two other 14mm bolts: Torque to 43 foot pounds
