Bill, same thing applies if it is the independent front end, you just do one side at a time. Get the four degrees castor sorted on both sides. Also, make sure that the amount of compression on the front springs is pretty much even on both sides - check how much thread is sticking out of the bolt as a useful guide.

Yes, if you change the camber strap you need to check it all through again, especially the toe in/out on the steering.

Note Mark's point too. Move the springs to the outer hole. If you are running the kit pivot height start with blue springs, if you are running the lowered pivot conversion try starting with yellow springs. Remember that when the grip is high you want to soften the car so it rolls in to the corner and lowers the CofG. Making the car harder will cause it to jack up and grip roll.

Using softer tyres has the effect of softening the spring rate. I will often leave the front springs as they are and go to a softer tyre when the front grip is up as it has a similar effect as using a softer spring. If you run your tyres down in the low 40s then this doesn't help as much. HTH
