Front and Rear Camber Kit Install

Have any of you guys gotten installed these before?

I went to Dallas Frame and Alignment and they quoted me a $655 install with alignment from them...am I being robbed blind or is that a common quote?

I paid $475 for the SPC camber kit....

$1000+ to have my car with 350z springs aligned correctly SUCKS!!!!

Any weekend warriors willing to work for cheaper or know of a place that's cheaper than DF&A?

Thanks!! Just spent almost over $1500 on new tires, shocks, and installs in the past week. Hurts to be throwing another $1000 on getting it properly aligned...

Hey man, call Tommy @ the shop in Arlington (see my thread on fender rolling). I asked him while I was there and they'll charge you bout $200 bucks. You will need to get it aligned afterwards though but it's a helluva lot cheaper.

I had my car done @ Al's Break and Tire in Garland. My car was to low to fit on any lifts. Al has a drive on alignment machine. The price was right and he did a good job. He also put my control arms on for me. shop#972.271.1715 2080 S. Garland Ave.

i did my front and rear SPC camber kit through german. i think i paid $400 for the install. he really didnt want to do it since he said the fronts are a pain to install....i guess that's why he charged $400 for the extra work he had to do. So if Dallas F&A is charging you $655 with front and rear alignment, i guess you're in the same ballpark. might as well have them knock it out all at once. if you do go to Dallas F&A talk to Josh, he was koo and lets you check out the work and shows you if there is any problems you may have.

The rear camber arms are pretty easy to install, I then added the SPC toe bolts myself.

I don't have the front A-Arms but Josh @ DF&A did my alignment and although my fronts are sitting around -1.8 (I think) I don't get abnormal tire wear because the car was aligned correctly to compensate...
