I'm chiming in a little late, but can't you put shims in behind the wheel hubs? My SPL arms came with a couple shims for dropped cars to get the camber back to daily driver values. Couldn't these same shims be used without the adjustable camber arms? I never installed them because I want the -2.5 for tracking purposes so I'd be willing to share.

Now thinking about it behind the wheel hub seems odd, maybe they go somewhere else to achieve the same purpose. I don't have the instructions in front of me.

I think i have 2 pairs of shims at +1.0 and +2.0. They are piled up with all my other car parts somewhere.

Hush You! Extreme cornering evens out that inside tire wear quite remarkably. At -2.5 my outsides always wear out first. But the only time the car is casually driven is to/from meets or to/from the track.

Price is dependent on your car and the work needed. I've taken all 5 of my previous cars to them and the price ranged between $65-$85 depending on the complexity and the issue. WELL WORTH THE COST! These guys are the best, period. They will be doing my alignment after my Camber/Toe kit install, even though I have a Firestone lifetime alignment. The only reason i got the Firestone lifetime alignment was because i needed a decent place that was open on the weekend in case i needed an alignment done on a weekend...and it has come in handy more than a few times!

Yes that message was for you, what I was trying to tell you BEFORE you went and spent the money on a camber kit is to get an alignment from a shop that knows our cars...

I have seriously negative camber on my front wheels with my TEIN Flex coilovers and with the alignment I got from Dallas F&A I have not had any uneven tire wear under daily driving conditions (neither front nor rear). HOWEVER, the tires may wear evenly at a slightly faster rate than if I had in-spec camber without the drop due to the way the alignment is done (slight toe-in). The guys at Dallas F&A know their stuff and work on G's and Z's all the time. You may get lucky and find a guy at your local Firestone or Goodyear dealer that knows how to properly align a lowered G/Z but I can assure you that it is hit or miss. With Dallas F&A you will not be disappointed and they will stand behind their work.

I did the rear toe bolts on my G just following a DIY thread here on driver. With the right dremel bit it took me as long to jack up the car as it did to install the toe bolts.

I already had adjustable rear camber arms but those shouldn't be too bad to install either.

Oh yeah I have an extra set of SPC Toe Bolts if you need a pair, don't remember what I paid but you can have them for cheap if you want.
