A couple noob questions regarding a 1G Talon:

I see the DIY camber kit mentioned frequently (bolts and washers) but is there a post describing what you have to do? I've been searching for a while but I haven't found anything. Is there a good rear camber kit for a 1G? If so, I don't have issues with spending a bit of extra money on it.

My old GAB struts are toast so I need something new. From reading several threads, the Koni struts with a coil-over kit seem to be the most favored option:

So a couple of questions about that. What coil over kit is recommended? Lastly, can I use my current upper bushings, top hat, and bump stop?

I used to rally race, autocross, and a bit of road racing (don't ask how I survived with all that neg camber on the back at the track). My car was quite worn out but with a new 2.5L engine by Slowboy, new paint, the car is looking and driving good. I just have to fix the suspension issues. I'll mainly be driving the car around town but I like to go out to our local track for lapping days too. Thanks for any advice or better suggestions re coilovers.

People usually recommend Ground Control coilovers paired with the koni shocks. You can also get adjustable rear control arms to help with your alignment, I know Ingalls makes a kit, there are several others too.
Or you can get a bushing kit for the rear:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...49588-dme-1g-awd-rear-camber-kit-install.html That kit doesn't seem to be available anymore from that link at least, but maybe you can find something similar.
