They didn't take too long. They would have gone alot smoother but we had some trial and error on the rears. The fronts were too easy. The rears, you have to loosen a bunch of bolts, pry on the lower arm, have the spring compressed, and then get the shock and spring out...it took two people. All together it took about 4 or 5 hours, not bad at all. Whats bolts are you talking about, devil? The one's on the top of the shock on the front? What about the rear? I don't think my camber is really out of whack, I just wanted to see if there was a way to make it as close to straight as possible. I'm going to adjust the height tomorrow and I will take a look at what you are talking about...maybe it'll make more sense if its in front of me I'll post pics in the afternoon.

No, the bolts that mount the upper control arms to the strut mount (the 16mm bolts next to the strut itself, where the upper arms attach). Those are the ones I was talking about.

By the way, one of those bolts should be put in backwards on reassembly. You won't have to take the shock off in the front to remove the UCAs like I had to after that.

Edit: I think I was imagining it backwards... But either way, one should be backwards, but I can't remember which.
