Yup, that's where I got mine. You'll need two sets if you get it from them.

Watch the torque specs when having these installed. If the bolts are flattened to make them act like cam bolts, they can no longer be torqued to factory specs, and will strip. At least that is what happened to one of mine. Around 130 lb-ft is too much, and with the keyed washers, they won't move off their marks like non cam bolts can do if too loose. I found mine at my FLAPS but they were over $12 more money than the same thing at Rockautoparts, per side.

How well do these kits work. Is this a DIY work or is it better to let the Alignment
shop handle it. I have excess tire wear on the outer edge of the front two tires.

NO! you have to pull the steering rack down to pull out the bolts and reinsert the new ones. Unless you are capable of doing so. They work great with lowered and normal spring set ups. I paid around 75 for the shop to install them when I got my lowering springs put in. I have since then switched back to stock springs and the car was aligned perfectly. If you are getting wear on the outter edge of the tires, the bolts would help if aligned properly im assuming.

These bolts are necessary then when lowering for proper alignment?

i have a funny story. I went to pep boys for an alignment and they said the bolts are not there at all(i dont think it would be drivable if they weren't). So they wanted to charge me for the bolts and 50 dollar to put each bolt in. So 200 dollars to put in four bolt thats would probably take no longer then a hour. ARE THEY CRAZY
