Hey. You will need to remove the arms and have them pressed out by either a shop or if you have a press do it yourself. You will then have to have them reinstalled and realigned to your desired specs. All they are are eccentric bushings so that you can change the camber better than doing the "crash bolts" btw I did the crash bolts in the front with the EUR alignment. NICE. Let me know how it goes I was thinking about doing them a while back. I hear the ride suffers a bit however.

The camber bolts don't give you that much negative.

camber bolts will only take you to an additional +- .25 degrees. My car only could achieve -1.1 with them. The KMacs provide -2.2 at full negative, and with strut shims, I was able to get to -3.1 which is too much in this car even for the track. Ride is stiffer but handling is much better and direct.
