I had one side in and the other side out. If I remember correctly, the struts came w/the bolts for setting camber. But it's been awhile and I could be wrong.

But you should have it checked any way because at a minimum, the toe will be off.

The camber isn't that far off with an approx. 1.5" drop. Plus, the camber change results in toe-out making the steering quicker.

I would only restore the camber if tirewear was a major concern for you.

I had this kit installed and even after grinding out the holes on the front struts per the application instructions from Ford Racing:

I have about 1.75 degrees of negative camber on the left and 1.5 degrees on the right. At this point I am going to leave it alone and keep an eye on tire wear. If tire wear becomes a problem then I will get the camber adjusted back neutral.

Love the FRPP pack. Improved handling on the track and the car looks great with the lowered stance. Street ride is definitely quite a bit firmer but by no means intolerable, and no scraping over speedbumps, etc so far.

BTW here is a link to some pictures my mechanic took during the install:
