rear shocks/Rear Camber Adjuster installation
 
Would be the smoothest way to do this, remove the sublink, remove the old shocks/springs, install new shocks/springs, then install the rear camber adjuster last?

You don't need to remove the struts or springs to install the adjustable sublink. If you are replacing the rear struts and springs and just putting the sublink in at the same time you can replace the sublink whenever you want to in that process. It might be slightly easier with the rear struts out of the way.

GL, maybe you should wait for your ankle to get better? or make someone get under there and help you!

I think I had my coil overs disconnected when i installed mine and just set my jack under the subframe.

It worked out well because my car is pretty low so i just cranked the sublink to it's shortest position, put the top bolt in, jacked the subframe up and put the lower bolt in and then hooked my coils on. Pretty easy BUT without a lift it's kinda akward getting the top bolt in. I remember specifically that being a pain in the ass and it made me feel like less of a man.

The struts and springs go on the car, they'll make your ankle way too stiff.

It's been two months now, have another month to go. I can't drive her so, I'll do upgrades.
