a good brand is SPC... I have them installed in my car. And no complaints here!!

Here's their website:

spcperformance

I don't have a DIY... I did mine at a military hobby shop and the staff helped me ALOT. For the fronts... I have an adjustable ball joint. It's pretty much swapping the OEM ball joint with the SPC adjustable ball joint. The military hobby shop provided me with the necessary tools for the install. I don't know what it's called but it's a tool that removes the OEM ball joint from the upper control arm. Here's a pic of the adjustable ball joint:



The rear is much easier because you can purchase the rear upper control arm with the adjustable ball joint already installed. So basically it's just removing the OEM rear upper control arm and replacing it with the SPC rear control arm. Here's a pic:

Once you installed the camber kits, how/what did you use to adjust the camber?
Or did you let a shop adjust those for you?

i had to let the shop do it cuz i don't have an alignment machine... once they have it up there... they'll see how negative you are and will adjust accordingly. it's pretty simple... if you look at the 1st pic you'll that nut on top... they'll have to loosen it and then you'll be able to adjust it... moving it towards you or away from you.

for the rear... u loosen the spindle and u just spin either clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust.
