Very nice! I'm looking at doing the same soon, so please post and let us know how it turns out!!

That's just for the rears? Is it essentially all we need for a proper camber alignment?

yep its for rears. i was told 1 set for drops up to 3/4", 2 sets for drops more than that. something about alignment of camber and toe for big drops. mine is right at 3/4" drop so they said 1 should be OK. I received them yesterday, man these are stout, not light. each arm probably weighs 4 lbs but they look like they could go through hell and back. i guess you want your suspension parts to be strong rather than weak! love the jazz blue powder coating, too. these will look better than any other mod on the car once i get them installed. just have to figure out if i should put the 1 set on top position or bottom. prob should of just gotten 2 sets.

Might I recommend a look at our Stern adjustable arms. They're a great option to consider.
This is the ONLY way to fix your camber in the rear. You need 2 arms for moderate lowering and adjustments, 4 arms if you have a very low car.

I have already bought them from www.GruvenParts.com. Very satisfied too.

I did speak with them regarding the parts and they gave me clear instructions on how to install and how many sets are needed.

I got them installed this weekend, alignment perfect now! Couldnt be happier !!

Wow these things handle great. Will definitely be ordering more parts from GruvenParts.com

Im also going to grab a set of the adjustable swaybar end links. Once I get more time, glad I found their site.

I run - 2.5 degrees front, - 2 degrees rear.

You have to have adjustable camber bushings at the front strut towers in order to get that much though.
