Thanks again for the offers. I ended up going to the Beverly Tire on Hespler (I don't get under the car in the cold ). Very happy with the service, took them just shy of an hour to do the camber bolts, paid the shop rate. Alignment went perfect after.
For those searching in the future for the FRPP springs M-5560-ZX3B and struts/shocks M-18000-ZX3B combo. On my 2007 ZX4 SES which was otherwise stock (in the suspension dept) the camber on the front end went from -0.4/-0.7 before installing the kit to -0.9/-1.4 after. The impact on toe was -0.07/-0.06 to -.11/-.28. On the rear of the car, camber went from -1.1/-1.4 to -1.8/-2.1 and the toe went from 0.21/0.20 to 0.60/0.69. This is obviously very not ok to drive on.
The front end camber I can live with and the toe is no issue to adjust. I may have been able to get the toe in spec on the rear without camber bolts, but I didn't want to chance it (and pay for two alignments in a row). So with the rear camber bolts installed we were able to set it to -1.0/-1.1 and then with the stock adjusters for toe, we had no problem hitting 0.10 on each side.
No more ice skates in the snow!!
