control arm style camber kit

How would you adjust these while your car is on a alignment rack? I'm talking about the ingalls for a 03 cls. There really isn't much room to work with...

At the shop that I went to the alignment rack lifts the car into the air,then there are lifts on the rack that lift it off the rack.they align it with the wheels hanging so they can make corrections.

How do you guys like them? I'm going to be buying those due to banging problems with the SPC ball joints. I wish they made these a year and a half ago so I wouldn't of wasted the money on the ball joints first.

Okay guys the only problem I had with mine was that,on the left side I needed alot of camber correction,so they had to push the ball joint out alot to correct my camber.But when they pulled my car down and I drove off I headr something hitting on the left side, like metal hitting metal.I brought it back and told them what I was hearing and the guys knew just what it was.They had to push the top insides of my wheel well away from the ball joint so that when I go over a bump nothing would hit,its fine now no noise at all.They told me that most cars with that type of camber kit hit the inside of the wheel well when dropped.They also told me that that type of kit was the way to go when you wanna go low.

So you bought the left and the right for 279? I always thought it was 279 apiece.

I was getting this control arm because the SPC ball joint is banging the top of my wheel well right now. So this kit is going to do the same?

The only reason mine hit was because I needed like over 2 degrees of correction to fix the left side,so it hit but Its an easy fix.They only charged me like 20 bucks and took the guy like 20 minutes to do it.Now I don't feel or hear a thing I love it,just the amount of travel it creates makes up for it,trust me.

That's Great! I was expecting to pay 560 for the arms and 110 for install. Now I can get an icebox with the extra 279.
