This is for my SC3 but i would think they would be the same. I forget the exact bolt sizes as well but ill try (someone correct me if im wrong). I'll also assume you have an alignment machine handy as well other wise you're asking for trouble.
Look for the lower control arms. Look for where they bolt to the chassis. They are connected with offset bolts, the front adjusts camber, the rear caster. You won't be able to see the rear bolt until you remove the rear chassis mounts (1 14mm nut and bolt i think). Then loosen but don't remove the nuts on the other side of the offset bolt (you'll need a 15/16 socket and a big *** breaker bar, these things can be tight). Once those are loose you can begin adjustment of camber and caster. To achieve negative camber move the front bolt towards the outside of the car, positve inwards. Very simple when I did it and was really simple to find. Good luck.

I would say yes, but Im not really sure. I always take my car to lexus, cause my Supra buddy is a tech there & he sets up my suspension for the best of both worlds. As close to factory specs, but with more caster for high speed. The car wants to track straight with more caster. Its hard to see how much change you have made with the tires on the ground. Lexus charges me $129.00 to do a 4 wheel alignment. But Im getting the expertiece of a specialty tech, not just a regular tech who just looks a factory spec's. Other shops are cheeper. I wouldnt try this by myself.

i just did mine a few days ago there are some marks where the "coin" lines up with some line on the outside of its dirty there il advise you to clean it up a bit so you could see where it lines up the factory settings on the the "coin" are longer VS the set of shorter ones IE --0-- to the shorter ones -o- hope this helps i had to figure it out on my own and the car felt soo much better when i got on the road GOOD LUCK!!
