Camber is the when the wheel leans in or out. If it leans in like this /, its negative camber. If it leans out, it's postive camber. Look in your Chilton manual, I saw it had an explanation of camber and toe in and out. Or just search it online. The camber kit corrects/straightens the camber so you don't get bad tire wear.

Got an alignment this morning at Sears. They seemed to do a good job. The toe on the front and the SAI (steering axis inclination) was off but everything else was within specs. The toe was easily corrected but I understand that the SAI cannot be adjusted. I guess this is because of the different angle the lowering springs put on the ball joint. She rides even better now and isn't pulling to the left anymore. Just thought I would throw this info out there.

Good choice on everything! I like it lots

I just finished doing mine this morning also. I think I redid at least one each of the fronts and backs because I forgot something after I had it back together. I forgot to put the lower rubber cushon from the old strut on the new rear struts so I had to take those back out after installing and put it in. On the front I forgot one of the bump stops after I had it in so that had to come back out and apart. I think the fronts on my car had already been rebuilt once because the top nuts were different left from right and neither side had the bump stops installed. Here was my parts list w/part #'s for those interested.

TRD Sport Springs - PTR04-20940-08
Bilstein Shocks & Struts - PNE-3143-BK Fronts
VNE-4957-BK & VNE-4956-BK Rears
Rear Shock Bumpers x 2 - 48341-20240
Front Shock Bumpers x 2 - 48331-20110
Rear Shock Covers x 2 - 48559-12080
Front Shock Covers x 2 - 48559-20080

Also installed new rear sway bushings while I had it up in the air.
Part # 48818-20380 x 2

Here is the finished product.

One other thing that I figured out was that the front upper spring perches are directional. There is a little arrow that is pointing with the word OUT next to it. Make sure it is on the outside or the perch will rub the inner well of the fender.

that drop looks awesome kb... sometime soon when i get some cash together some new shocks/struts are on my list too

Super clean a nice ride, good job.
