I paid $1,085 for the all of it that includes shipping. Just got everything done, but didn't take any pics. So I'll take some tomorrow to show the finished product. Have one question for the people the have or have had this setup. How stiff did you make the front and rear shocks?

I run mine a quarter turn from full stiff daily. If I make it any less stiff, the car will be awfully bouncy due to the high spring rate.

As for the torque values on the camber kit, use OEM specifications. The adjusting allen screws should be tightened as tight as you can get them in a criss cross fashion.

make sure you get a 4 wheel. After the front is set w/ the lower ride the rear will need to be adjusted as well.

Great setup and nice job with the installation. I have the same setup, I'm just waiting for the GCs and camber kit to arrive.

So how does your car feel now?

in about an hour i will take the pics. Well it feels alot better around corners. as far as bumps it feels the same as when i had the racing sport coilovers on stock shocks. i have the konis set to 1/2 stiff in the front and 3/4 in the rear. i also set them to full in the back and 3/4 in the front to see what they would feel like. It was really bumpy and super stiff.

The camber kit was really easy to do after i got the ball joint separator. i just lined it up and hit it they both popped right out. If i had to do it again i think i could do it in about an hour and a half.
