Which shops for camber kit installation?

I will be getting the spc camber kit soon and was wondering if anyone can recommend me to a shop to have front and rear installed for a coupe? I got a quote so far from mach iii and it was $480 for the install and $120 for alignment. I'd appreciate anyones help on this.

just make sure they elongate the hole for the toe bolts in the rear per spc instructions.


auto innovations in milpitas knows to do this.

+2 for AI. I just got my coilovers and SPC Kit done there last Friday. I was more than satisfied with their work, and they'll treat you great. Price is pretty good too.

From my personal experience: stay away from Mach III -- go to Auto Innovations. That will save you time and $.
Read more here what might happen to you if you take it to Mach III:

Orlando & the crew @ AI are very careful when getting the cars up on the rack. At the alignment day we had @ AI, there were a handful of very low G's with even lower aftermarket front bumpers and not a single one was scratched.

Camber kits are only "necessary" if you want to be able to get back to OEM specs (or as close too depending on drop) to prevent premature inner wear on the tires after a significant drop (typically more than 1")

not a good idea to remount tires with low profiles as the sidewalls get subsequently weaker.....plus, you achieve better road/tire contact with camber kit/a-arms.
