This is mine: http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=picsvids&Number=998447

but yeah, I think there's another, somewhere. It's pretty easy, in any case.

2) Also, I am putting the BAT Euro kit on...do I need a camber kit? ...I don't think I do.



The camber kit is nice, but whether it's needed or not depends on how much camber you had from the factory. You should be fine with the BAT kit if you're okay now.

3) And what is adjusting TOE?



toe is adjusting the tires to point in or out when viewed from above. Toe out is when the fronts of the tires point away from each other, and toe-in is when they point towards each other. This has a big effect on tire wear and transient handling. Toe-out will make the car darty but very responsive, toe-in will make the car stable but sluggish, and very much toe either way will cause bad wear. 1/8" out is a good setting, IMO, for the front, and most people run 0 toe in the rear.

4) With the BAT kit...since I am not using the old springs do I even need a spring compressor? Do I use this thing to either put in/take out the old suspension?




I beleive the BAT kit uses your old bumpstops and strut hats, in which case you need to take apart the old strut/spring assembly to get them off, and then put the new assembly together.
