did you install the s-techs and camber yourself?
any cutting of the bumper stop involved?

and... how hard is it to install the rear cambers?

I actually took it to an alignment shop and they did springs, camber arms and 4 wheel alignment 200 bux. No bump stops were cut. The guy said the camber arms were a pain in the a$$ to get to.

That's a really noticable difference. We should link this thread to anyone who is hesitant on installing the camber arms!

Great stuff.

Fronts aren't needed with 1.4 drop. IE: s-techs. If you go lower (neuspeed), quite possibly, though I don't know for sure.

i went to a local tunershop and they said it would be best to do it on the front also
since it only costs ~$30.00 for both fronts, why not?
and since its a FWD car, the power goes to those wheels... and i lost him from there

I don't think it would hurt the car.. but my cars front end aligned perfectly without camber arms.
