    I've heard that it's a bastard of a job to do so when my vt was due i got a pro to do it so that's what i'd advise, just my 2 cents...

    its not too bad if you are handy with tools.
    go to: k mac suspension. they have fitting instructions for vt rear camber kits.
    otherwise it will cost you $420 to get it done professionally through pedders including wheel alingment.

    i did mine with the assistance of the mechanics hoist and his offsider.

    cost me nothing but what a c#%t of a job.
    Took about 6 hours, everything had to come off.
    taking in to concideration that i had to put 2 kits in coz im real low
    Dont buy nolathaine, they dont go in easy and dont have the best degree of adjustment.
    Im still out 1.5deg more than i should

    pedders wouldnt use the kmac kit would they, i would say they have their own version?

    Should i get the K-mac kit and get it put in or just go to pedders?

    Pedders unit is a good product, and, if they install it they do a full 4 wheel alignment before you leave. If your car isn't lowered you also might want to ask them about the Poly-Airbags. they provide you with an extra bit of insurance against spring sag and maintain even ride height with a load on board.
    To all the BA's I've blown the doors off, GIVE UP!!!
