AFAIK, there is no upper control (camber) arm for the 07+ sedan yet.

Sorry ... AFAIK = As Far As I Know. Yes, the front camber can only be changed if the upper control arms have an adjustment. Obviously, the stock ones do not.

For what it's worth, I received an email from Stillen today. Still no ETA on the front camber kit

How hard to install?

I'm dropped on Eibachs and need to install the rear camber kit. Anyone know how difficult it is to install? The arm doesn't look complicated but I've never done one before. I did install the springs myself.

Any tips?

Thanks.

Trust me, if you can install the springs yourself, you SURE AS HELL can install the rear camber arms. The rear camber arms are a joke compared to a spring install.

It was my first spring install so it took a little longer than I expected. Cool, the arms should be simple then. That's what I was hoping for. I'll order a pair. Thanks for the feedback.

Me and my boy (who owns a TT Z) spent about 4 hours at his garage installing my springs, so yes, I know all about "taking a lil longer than expected" LOL . The rears took us 15 minutes, but the fronts took us a good 3 hours.

No kidding! I've done a few 4x4 suspension lifts and even my SUV body lift by myself so I thought this was going to be 2 hours max. I think I wasted a lot of time trying to clear that darn lower shock mount. I bet it would've been a lot easier if I just tried to remove the mount. Then there was the reinstalling the spring compressor a couple times to get enough compression. LOL
