Got SPC F&R camber kits. Can I install them at the same time as my springs and get it "close enough" to at least drive it a little bit so the springs can settle then drive it for the final alignment in a couple weeks? I really don't want to install the springs and then have to get under there all over again to put in the camber arms. Also, are the camber arms pretty easy to install? I haven't yet searched the DIY section for that, but I am up for the DIY spring install so I assume the camber arms shouldn't be too bad once I've got the springs out. Thanks for any help w/ this

 

Yeah go ahead and do them all at the same time and then just wait a week to get an alignment. I dont have fronts but I did my coils and camber kit at the same time.

 

You can install them the same time as your springs. They only need to settle a few days, not a few weeks. You can ruin a set of tires pretty fast if alignment is off by a lot. You can guess as to camber adjustment, but you'll probably be amazed at how far off it actually is when you take it in for alignment. Also be aware that after installing them it might be so far off that it makes the car's handling a bit unpredictable so you should be careful.

IMO the install is slightly toward the easy side of moderate difficulty if you've got the right tools and are fairly competent with suspension work. Elongating the toe bolt holes is the worst part for most people. If you have the car on a lift it makes it much easier.

 

Thanks guys, I'll try to search out a DIY if there is one, but I've done a fair amount of wrench twisting so I'm not too concerned. Luckily the alignment place is only a couple miles away so I can crawl there if I have too

 

Like I said I haven't really searched the camber DIYs yet but would it be easier to do the camber kit(s) w/ the springs/struts removed or would it just be better to swap out the springs then put the camber kit(s) in?

 

Yes. Do it all at once.

 

What I meant was would it be easier to do the camber arms while the springs were out (do they get in the way or complicate things) or just change out the springs then put the camber kit(s) in?

 

Yes it is.

 

TYVM Sir
