Could some one who has done this mod them selfs explained to me how to do it.
I know the car has to be raised, but do I have to compress the springs before I unbolt the three bolts???
Also, should I ONLY change the camber for AUtoX and track events?? or can I change it to max neg camber and leave it there for AutoX/Track and street driving? I am curious to know if I will ware out the inside of the tire by driving the car on the streets with max neg camber. Has anybody driven their car on the street with max neg camber up front??
Thanks,
LRR

Toe is what kills tires, not camber. I run zero toe and maxed-out front camber and don't have excessive tire wear. I have had my car set up this way for the past 20,000 miles and I'm still on the same tires. The tires are wearing very evenly.

It's simple to do.

1) Raise the front of the car (you can do one corner at a time if you like)
2) Loosen (but do not remove) those three nuts.
3) Push the top of the strut inward as far as it will go and hold it there
4) Tighten to spec those three nuts

Do the same on the other side.

Doing this will also change the front toe setting on your car, so you'll need to get it realigned after this change.
