camber adjustment
 
i just bought a drop zone camber kit and was wondering if there are any shops that will correctly adjust it for me or do i have to do it myself and just hope that i get each corner really close? thanks in advance!!!

not alot of shops mess with camber kits, unless they're the ones with the markings for the measurements on them. I don't have a d.z. kit so..... don't know what ta tell ya buddy.

it depends on how far your car is lowered and if it will actually fit on the guys lift. Also look for a shop that does it old school, i.e. with a pit instead of a lift.
I have a 1.5 drop on my rex and was about to get raped for a 200 dollar alignment, then I called aounrd and found a cool guy that said if he could get it on the lift he'd do it for 80 bucks with a computer.
You really have to search around, and is all depends on how low you've gone, look for the guys with pits instead of lifts.

it's not that hard, just measure the amount of adjustment on each side with a ruler to make it even, you won't notice if it's a mm off.

the best way i heard is use a level against the wheel when its sitting level on the ground then if needs adjusting lift and adjust until right. if u feel confident with that method leave it or this is good until u take it to a shop to double check or make small adjustments

thanks for the great and quick responses. think although i might not get it just perfect but by all means it will be a thousand times better than having no camber adjustment at all. th car is lowered 2.5 front and 2.2 rear. thanks again!!!

definitly make marks on the kit though so you know how much to do on each one

They make a camber reading tool that mounts to your wheel. They are pretty cool actually, and accurate. If all you need to do is camber, look into getting one, and then if you go to a road race, you can dial in the extra negative camber again to make your car handle!
