Lookin good! I'd be curious to hear if the camber is too far out to be within specs? Dropped mine, then had to raise it to get the alignment corrected.

i mounted them under the side skirts but since its not a flat surface under there you have to do alot of adjusting. i still have to work on them again to get the alignment right. plus i dont know if you can tell but one of the lights are off colored and i had *********** send me a new one at no charge.

definitely need some better pictures. I wanted to do this mod too for awhile. Oh well.. I have the rear SAGE kit installed and it definitely worth the purchase. If I didn't have my LS400 brakes I wouldnt run the front so I can run a camber kit. I read in the GS section that with the RCA for the front. It raises the control arm making the SPC adjustable camber UCA hit the fender. So unless i buy real BBK that fits without the RCA... no Camber adjustment for me (surely you can still run it but my car is too low and raising it is not an option haha)
