Hey guys, so the rims/tires are coming in soon and I'd like to get the SPC camber kit installed. What shops can you recommend to install this since it requires drilling into the under carriage?

I don't want to end up like this guy in other words: http://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-s...one-wrong.html

What there is no drilling at all for a rear camber kit. Also there is nothing wrong with that guys install. When the car was jacked up it takes a while for the springs to compress back down. Also your car will be lower in the back with alot of camber and when you take the camber out it will bring the car up some in the rear. Install is simple you could do it yourself. Have a buddy help adjust the camber while you watch till you get to the shop for the aline.

According to this you do have to drill:

Installation:
A. Replace the lower control arm with the Camber Kit Arm. Use stock toe bolt here.
B. Remove the spring perch arm and reinstall with the Toe Bolt in the Kit. Use the template in the kit and a Dremel to drill out the hole. Make the hole only big enough so that the Toe Bolt BARELY turns 360. DO NOT MAKE THE HOLE TOO BIG OR THE TOE BOLT WILL MOVE EVEN AFTER TIGHTENING IT DOWN.

sorry i did not even think about it. I also used my factory bolt with the factory washer so maybe that is why i did not have to cut anything. Worked out fine for me. Best of luck and i wish you were close i would be happy to help

yeah if you use the different bolts you have to make the hole a bit bigger.
