I had some technical questions to ask fellow members, but since this is really is a pic thread, i didn't know wether or not it should go into non-tech. I apologize in advance.
well she needs an alignment, a camber kit, and a good wash, but here are the results of 7 hours(!) of me and my friend's time.

They are H&R sport springs which supposedly give a 1.75" drop in the front and 1.5" in th back, it seems like more, but who knows. My question is this, I took it in this morning to get an aliignment, and it looks like I've got any were from -1.3 to -2.1 degrees of negetive camber on any particluar wheel, basically meaning I need a camber kit. I trust this shop and the people in it and have been going there for a while. They told me they sell camber kits through thier supplier and should be able to intsall everything for me for alot less than $400 total. Or I could just buy a kit myself and install it, after installing the springs it should be a piece of cake. They told me to drive around for the next 4-7 days in order for to allow the suspension to settle, then take it back in and have them check it out before we go ahead and do anything, they aren't going to charge me for anyhthing unless I decide to purchase the camber kit, and he said they'd only charge me for the kit and labor, and possibly give me a free alignment. I've heard of the washer thing for the rear but I really want to make sure this is done right. I am on a budget and would definitly like to keep it under $400 for everything, but if need be I've got enough should it get expensive, what do you all think is my best bet?
I will also post a D.I.Y. with pics after everything is completed, but if you have any questions about the install don't be afraid to ask.
