Was that installed? And without a camber kit at 1.5 inches will your tires wear extremely fast?

Well The installation was 100 because I didnt ahve excess to an air gun and part of the shock assembly was rusted so I couldnt get it off with hand tools. The tires dont really wear that bad but Im getting camber kits anyway. You can do the washer trick for the rear and the front ones are not really that hard. I have had my car lowered since christmas and have driven back to ga from ms several times and not many problems at all.

If you have airtools, by all means do the suspension yourself. It'll take about 4 hours, depending on your knowledge of suspension tear downs.
I've done this 3x on my car and can do the whole setup in under 3 hours with air tools
