yeah I don't want to risk that, plus I heard you need 2 people anyway. And an alignment? Hm. I might do it myself if I find instructions.

before I put these on, should I buy a front/rear camber kit? Or will I not need it? I plan to have these springs on for a max of 10,000 miles lol

i really don't think you NEED a front/rear camber kit
if you have the extra $ then go ahead and get one
i'm a poor college student so i can afford those nice things lol

To adjust camber you can only use bolts in the front without getting coilovers with cambes plates on it. To adjust the rear you either use shims or fork out the money for a new hub plate.

bolts/shims = cheap with a couple degrees of adjustment
coilovers/plates = money with a few more degrees of adjustment

There has to be something wrong with your set. JDMChris and ChrisG both have them and they look fine.
