can you install the front Daizen Camber kit by myself?

I had a shop in Houston install the Daizen kit and and realign my car for $200. I'm sure it could have been installed myself (I don't have the tools and didn't want to spend the time to do it myself). Plus, I would have had to take it to a shop to have it realigned anyways, so just had them do it all at once.

I went to a shop last weekend.... Dude wanted 350 to install my "REAR" Daizen kit.... I said "F" it, laughed at him, brought it back home....... and done the job myself. Well actually the only thing I didn't want to do was burn the old bushings off... So I got those pressed out and the new stuff pressed in for cheap....
If you are skinny and have small hands getting the UCA is a piece of cake, but if you are big and fat like myself and cursed with BIG OLE' PAWS this job is a PITA!!
Also I didn't use a Pickle Fork or a Pitman Puller.... Just a 5lb mallet and struck the nuckle about 200 times... LOL
Pics coming soon...
But yes it a DIY job....

It took forever for mine to ship, but the guy that runs it is incredibly busy. You will get your product, don't worry. As far as the installation, if you are at least familiar with a little suspension wrenching, you can do this yourself. I will tell you this, a torch is a very handy tool when removing the old bushings. And make sure you clean the CA up really nice before reassembling. Pep boys pressed the new sleeves in for me for like $20. Use lots of the lube they send too. Very straight forward.
