port meaning they drill holes in the arms but it doesn't do any harm to the car as you can still get it within range at any height. a shop was going to charge me $300 for the whole thing down here and honestly i think it's worth it rather than spending $550-$600 on camber kits plus installation.

Transformers was going to do this for me , but I said NO ! I think it's a great substitute for spending big $$$ on camber kits though . Since I already had SPC ok hand was best to just do it right the first time , but honestly these SPC kits are not wrth spending 500+ install ....

You don't need to spend $$$ have them installed. The install is as simple as putting in a suspension, basically the same steps, but no needing to compress springs or deal w/ all of that, just the arms.
The only thing you would need to spend $$ on are the actual kits, and then the allignment.
Like I said, I'll be doing ALL of this the next couple weeks. trying to get the best prices on SPC kits right now...

Drill holes in the arms?? Makes no sense.

Wait...so he actually DID an allignment for you? Or did he just say F*ck it, I can't do anything?
If he did an allignment, he 100% should have given you a print out of every degree detail. Our cars as long as they're withing -2.5 camber you're okay because its natural to have neg camber, but you're TOE should almost DEAD ON!
Camber kits a waste of $$?? And this is a reputable shop? wtf?

Another fact is this. SPC/SPL caber kits weight like 10 more pounds than stock arms. So maybe this is an option. The guy at the shop mentioned none of this to me. Just said car needed no camber kits. Although I think Miami Chassis & Collision does this. There the guys who do the Heat cars etc.

when you get the camber/toe kit you will be able to get back to spec. when they install the toe bolts they MUST dremel out the area so the toe can be adjusted.(as in the directions) if they just put the bolts in they will still only have stock adjustment on the toe.

^^^i will 100% give you updates on this. I will be doing a full SPC kit front and rear with my KW's, and my KW's are FULLY tucked in the front(with the front tire up in the wheel well by over a full inch).
I've talked to MANY reputable guys here on the forums over and over and over about allignments, with coils, springs, and hell even bags, and they all say the same thing...CAMBER KIT!!!!!
Stay away from that shop bro, and I hope to god they didn't charge you for they're "recommendations". Get it done at a reputable shop, get the printout, and go back to the sh*tshop and be like..."oh wait....what do ya know, SPC KITS DO WORK!!??" FTMFW~!!!!!!!!!!!!
... LMAO

I am by no means slammed, I have Eibach Pro-Kit springs. Here is my most recent alignment. Don't have it scanned but here is the details.
FL Camber: -1.8
FR Camber: -1.4
RL Camber: -1.9
RR Camber: -1.7
All the toe was brought back to spec. I'm a little worried why the right on both front and rear have a bit more camber, but overall I'm happy that they are tolerable numbers.
