Since I quickly chewed up the insides of my old 15" tires after lowering my car, and since my new 18" rubber is quite expensive, I'm thinking it's time to install some camber bolts and get an alignment done.

The shop I'm getting the alignment done at has offered to install the bolts for $80, but I'm broke now, so I want to do the install myself. The guy at the shop told me that I would need to buy some special tool to get the bolt in there, and it would end up costing just as much anyways. But I'm thinking that since it's just a simple bolt replacement, shouldn't the thing just slide right in there without any special equipment needed? So my question is, can I do the install myself with just the basic tools (jack, stands, wrenches, sockets)?

Also, has anyone tried the cam bolt kit made by Ingalls Engineering that replaces both the upper and lower bolts (not their kit that replaces only the upper bolt) for twice as much adjustment? I am slightly troubled by the note at the bottom of their description: These parts are intended for use in vehicles with abnormal alignment and are designed to replace the non-adjustable factory equipment. These parts are not designed for installation on vehicles with suspension and/or steering systems modified for racing, competition or any other non-standard purpose. Should I be concerned about this?

Shouldn't need anything special to install them. But once you have them installed make sure to get an alignment.

There are two ingalls camber bolt kits. They are basically the same, one replace just the upper bolts with their camber bolts for -+1 degree, and the other kit replaces both bolts for -+2degrees.

I'm not sure if using two bolts on one side means twice the adjustment. I got the +/- 1 degree bolt for both fronts, and they seem to work fine. Just make sure you torque those babies down TIGHT. At least to factory specs, which I believe is 80 or 110 lb ft or something like that (gotta check the FSM).
