I assume by "camber adjusters" it mean camber adjusting bolts? The install shouldnt take that long...maybe four hours start to finish. Does this place have a website for this kit (so I can add it to the Performace FAQ) ?

then its going to be a big pain in the *** to take off the bushings and whatnot off of the stock struts to reuse. youll also need a spring compressor

well the spring compressor is easy, and what bushing do i reuse? they kit i got is "assembled and complete" from tokico. I was figuring it is just... pull the old one and put the new one in?

You have to use the top hats from the original struts...you dont really need air tools, but they do come in handy. Make sure you have a spring compressor and a way to get the center nut off. I made my own tool with vice grips, a tractor spark plug socket, and a 10mm socket with extension. The spark plug socket will turn the nut while the 10mm socket whill keep the strut shaft from turning.

Heres a pic...if you've looked at the top of the strut you'll understand what I mean.
