If you can remove (2) 17mm bolts, then it'll be EASY.

The rears have a camber insert so its as easy counting to 3 to adjust....Its a great product....if they made them lower than 1.1 i would get them and change my springs.....I having trouble posting pictures but I do have before and after....but just to say I had a two finger gap before now I have none at all in the front and rear.

Thank you and the ride is no different than it was at 1.8 front and 1.7 rear with the tein s-tech springs....It was wierd to me that it dropped the car like that...I like the way it sits.....

another 1.1....i didnt think that it would take out all the wheel gap but it did...I dont have my rear lip rolled and I run 245/35/20 on a 20x10 in the rear 40mm offset and I cant put my one finger between the tire and the lip in the rear.....perfect fit....im very happy with the product......

It was a 2 for me...pretty simple....jack up car, put car on jack stands, remove wheels, remove 17mm bolts (2 on each side) under lower ball joint, jack up the brake rotor assembly (a bit heavy), position RCA in place, re-install brake rotor assembly over RCA, torque new bolt/locking washer/ o-ring to min. OEM specs (81 ft/lbs)...DONE!!

Do NOT torque to 120 ft/lbs!!!

By the looks of it...your rears does NOT show any negative camber issue...and you're only using the middle insert too....look like its within specs...even at this low drop.
