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...

vt
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

lol thats why i just handed over my money to pedders, also got it dropped 2 inches all round, saved a little money doing it all at once
edit: I shoudl mention, ideally you need a hoist for this job

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.
