Default Alignment kit for 4/7 drop

I am picking up a 4/7 drop this week and was wondering what you guys used for the alignment kit. I see Belltech offers a 1 or 2 deg kit. I am going with their spindle and adjustable strut up front.

thanks, Matt

i used the following, just replaced the bushings, i just took the uca off then took them down to a local mechanic, he took them off and pressed the new ones to specs for $25,

or you can use

i know that belltech offers both bushing and camber kits, but their camber kit requires that you do some drilling dont know about the spc camber kit above

I ended up going with the Belltech replacement bushings like the ones you posted. We have a press at my work so it should be pretty easy.

thanks

u only need them when u have more a 2" spring or struts and the max drop on struts is 2 so just try it out first and if they dont align then just order the bushings i had to get the bushings cuz i had drop struts and springs
