Great Pics and an easy set up.
I have mine set the rear camber at .50 negative, this helps the handling and tire grip.

Thank you so much for the great advice.  Do you have a pic by any chance of the washer or bolt that I will be adjusting?  If not thats cool, thanks again. 
 P.S. Nice car!

Yes, I do.
The first pic shows the OEM cams in the lower RH part of the photo. I eventually went with adjustable struts from VBP, to eliminate the chance to have the camber go out of adjustment. Good luck.

Just to clarify, for anyone who doesn't understand where the adjustment is from Jack's pics, check THIS modified pic out.

btw....I think that bolt is in backwards...

Jack, thanks for the photos and info. Just got my new T-Arms and U-joints in and finished TODAY ! Next job is to set the camber and you are on the money with the help and info. I also went to the Duntov site and read through their info and tips. Will print both out when I go to do the work tomorrow. By the way, my T-Arms were in worse shape than I had thought. Glad I went with completely new assemblies for the job.
