Price varies from location to location. As I mentioned in another thread.. I've seen prices from $125-$225 depending on your location.

I have 18" rims/tires on my car and I needed a camber kit and alignment on mine. All cars react differently to being lowered... so you can probably make a call on the camber kit after you install the springs. The alignment should be done right away.

I had my Comptech springs but on by my dealer and was told I actually didn't need the camber kit nor an alignment. I have 18x7.5's as well...I had it done 10 days ago and have over anotehr 1,000 miles since with no problems...

Well, r10apple's reply is a perfect example that cars respond differently to drops. We have different springs (similar drops) with the same size rims/tires and he didn't need a camber kit where I do (you can actually see the slight slant of the rear wheels).......

I'd suggest to get alignment done after 2 weeks or so for the springs to settle. Depending on how much off camber you are at 2 weeks later then you can decide to get a kit or not. If you are riding on 18s I'd say you'll need a kit. You don't want to replace 18s tires every 3 months do you?

Yeah-I really thought the dealer was gonna hose me after I got the word on how much the install was gonna cost me, but he flat out said I didn't need either-even though the tech said they have the camber kits in stock...
