Hi Garrett. Unless you are going to lower the car by more than an inch, you don't need to install the aftermarket front camber kit. The front suspension already has camber bolts in it that are good for about +/- 1 deg of camber.

The installation is pretty easy for the rear (or front). Jack up the car, remove the rear wheels, match mark the strut body against the knuckle, loosen the lower strut-to-knuckle nut, then re-snug it, and then remove the upper strut-to-knuckle nut and bolt. You'll probably find that the nuts needs some liquid wrench before they will easily break free. Install the camber washer, bolt, and nut in the upper strut-to-knuckle hole. The washer does not go with the nut but with bolt head. The washer needs to be oriented on the strut hole so that the tab on the washer sits in the hole. If you get the tab properly positioned, then as you spin the camber bolt (with the lower strut-to-knuckle bolt loosened), the camber on the knuckle will change. You'll have to take the car in for an alignment to set the camber values properly. Changing the rear camber will also change the rear toe slightly, so you'll probably have to adjust the rear toe back to zero after you set the camber.
