Default how hard is it to install a camber kit?

Is it possible to do it myself? I never installed anything on a car before, I dont even do my own oil change, but is it possible?

id search on here and on other sites for a walkthrough...

IMO, its not hard, however, ive installed everything on my car and done all maintenance myself, everything except for alignments.

if you have the right tools and read over the walkthroughs i think you could do it.

I used WCS's DIY when I installed my omni front camber kit. It was easy.

get the omnipower kit, it's the same design as the skunk2 but slightly improved, i've had mine for almost a year now and it hasn't given me any troubles. i also got mine for $160ish and i wouldn't recommend any other kit.

I'd go with the omni's as well. I previously had ingalls style ones that rusted and squeaked a lot. The omni's are much easier to adjust the camber on also.

:stupid:

mine have held up fine for the past year, 20-25k miles

install wasn't hard, but we don't get rust problems down here. colder climates might require more grunt work.

if you need a walk through, you can use my diy.. although, if you've never worked on a car, this could be a challenge for you..
