My 01 4dr is on sportlines and the rear camber is -2.2L and -2.0R it has been like that for over a year and it wears the tires slightly more. I kinda want to get a camber kit now. I believe the front is -.6/-.8 so it still in spec. I got the allignment dude to put my toe at 0 in the rear I wonder if thats a good idea.

A local shop wanted to charge me 500+ bucks for full camber kit and install one time that I was there getting a tire rotation. F'ing crazy. I just laughed went back outside and waited for them to finish rotating my tires. Can I put these in myself and then just take it for alignment? Or is it better to just have a shop install and align. I know I can definately get the kit cheaper than what they want to charge. So how's the labor for that?

installing them yourself depends on which front kit you get. you can get the anchor bolt style, but people have had problems with those hitting the fender. i have the ball joint style from SPC and it has worked well, but i had to have a shop install them because my friend and i didn't have the right tools. since you have a 5th gen, you can do the rear yourself with parts from home depot or OSH. i bookmarked a decent how-to at home (i'm at work right now), let me know if you want it and i'll post the link tonight. i think i paid $125 or $150 to install the front kit and rear washers and the alignment. i got my kit at http://www.iapdirect.com/
