As far as I understand camber bolts in the rear you replace the top strut to knuckle bolt with it. Let the coils settle for a few days and get an alignment. Its as easy as taking one bolt out and putting yours in. The front has a camber bolt so you can compare that way. Just out of curiosity what camber are you trying to get in the rear? I got -1 front and rear with my BCs and no rear camber bolt.

The brake line question I have no idea. Mine didnt leak and the 5 or 6 other guys I know with these didnt leak either. Just be gentle when removing the old struts.

IGoFast - im not too far from you if you want some help puttin these in. Only problem I had was one bolt was stuck on like crazy causing me to snap 2 sockets, an adapter and I bent my breaker bar. Impact sockets did the trick.

That would be awesome thanks! They were supposed to be delivered yesterday, but no one was home to sign for them and now I will have to track them down OR wait until they are going to drop here off here again.

Thanks! So I spoke to UPS and I am going to have to pick up coilovers on Monday or wait for their second delivery attempt. I'll probably end up installing them over next weekend at my friends place in Ridgefield CT, but if you want to stop by you may do so.

Ok, ill stop if you want help. Im helping another friend with a brake job on sat so if you are still stuck on sunday let me know.

the top bolt of the strut is the camber bolt. you will have to remove the stock one to get the stock struts off anyways (like partysub said).

installing the coilovers will be cake, especially since you dont have to remove the springs on the stock struts (like if you just got springs, you would need a spring compressor to get them off). all you have to do is remove the bolts on the top of the strut and bottom, take out the whole entire strut assembly with the spring on it, and put in the new one. very simple. just make sure you spray down the bolts with some pb blaster to loosen them up so you dont strip them or anything.
