I have lowered my car with Hotchkis springs. I have heard that you need some sort of camber kit (????) in order to align the car. is this true or I can I simply take it to NTB or wherever and have the alignment done?
If I do need the camber kit....where do I get it from?![Icon Confused](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_confused.gif)

There isnt a "camber kit" for our cars, I know I've seen some imports need them but you will be fine. Hell, a couple weeks back I installed just about every UMI piece made along with Konis, Strano springs and bars and just took it down to the local Goodyear tire shop for an alignment. No worries.

There is no 'camber kit' for our cars.
Sam (Strano) has offset control arm bushings that allow maximum (MUCH grater than possible stock) negative camber for handling purposes, but this is a hardcore road course/autocross (it's not even legal in F/Stock autocross class) part.
What you may have heard is that there is a GM tool, shaped like a kitchen cabinet handle, which lets the alignment tech keep the camber settings steady while he messes with the caster settings.
NOT all alignment places have this tool, but it is possible to get a good max negative camber, max positive caster setting without it.
