Well it took me about 40 minutes to install the rear camber on my car and about 1 hour to change the front struts on my car, having never done either before. If you have done springs before, its really easy. I didnt have a guide or anything when I did it.

As for the camber kit, can you show a picture of it? Chances are its a long bolt and washer, if that is the case its real easy. You will have 4 bolts on the upper part of your rear suspension, undo the bolts, put the spacers between the suspension and use the longer bolts, it shouldnt be too hard. The hardest part is dealing with the bolt by the gas tank fill neck.

I have no idea how to install those, mine was 8 longer bolts with 8 spacers. I got mine from RRE for about $45

Those look like eccentric sleeves? If thats indeed what they are they would go in the rear upper control arm.

They look like the DME kit i just installed. Basically you take the old upper control arms out, burn the old bushings out and put these in with the eccentric hole toward the outside. This makes the control arm "longer". Then you can use the factory adjustment to change camber.

A word of warning, th ecccentric didn't fit propery with mine so i had to sand alot of material out of the middle of these.

I went to a junkyard to get an extra pair that i could work on, this way my car wouldn't be down for a while while i was installing these. They are a pain to get off the car, you should use lots of pb blaster and a hammer. Here's a couple pics of my finished ones. I haven't gotten around to putting them on the car and probably will after x-mas. I'll update you on how they work when i put them on.
