the SPC shim kit comes with instructions, you basically snap off certain tabs to get the camber and toe you want, then mount it behind the wheel. It's a one-use plastic shim.

Do you have to disassemble the rear shocks and springs or is it something you can just jack up the rear of the car, put them in and lower it down?

It's similar to the hub spacer DIY, you take off parts up to your hub and attach them. No disassembling of the rear shocks/springs.

any alignment shop that uses hunter equipment has the shims you need and if you specify during the alignment that you want x.xx camber/caster/toe they can set it up how you want it. that's how it works with lowering...the company should have a card in there with new alignment specs for camber/caster. if the kit didnt come with new specs, it's probably not a very reputable company.

In the front, make sure the toe in is near zero if you kick in the negative camber. Toe is a big tread life killer.

according to the alignment computer in WesternAuto ( car came with alignment warranty from them) my car needed the bolts mentioned in this thread
this was my car with the stock bolts  after I got the new bolts installed the tires turned out to be straight in the alignment computer. My concern is how long these new bolts will last :( Edit: Ignore the date and time on the sheet the time settings are messed in the computer |
