Default New to the game.... where to install camber kit?

Ok, so where do most of you guys have this stuff installed? I know some of you do it yourselves, but I have never done any suspension work myself, and I'm not really set up to do it now. Don't have the proper tools, no way to lift it, etc.

So will the Nissan dealer install an SPC front and rear camber kit for me? The closest dealership to me is an hour and a half away. The one I went to last time for my alignment was 1:45 away. I wouldn't think that Nissan dealers would be too keen on putting on aftermarket suspension parts.

Problem is, there aren't really any shops around my area that specialize in this kind of stuff that I know of. Maybe there are, and I just don't know it.

I've eaten through 2 sets of good used Goodyear Runflats (60-70%) on the rear in 1500 and 2000 miles, respectively. When the dealer did my alignment, my rear camber was -3.0 left, -2.5 right after alignment. And they said that was as close as they could get it due to the rear Swift springs the previous owner installed.

Nothing done to the front in terms of lowering. And I don't expect to, it already scrapes on too many dips and gullies.

So... do most tire shops do this kind of thing? Or do I need to find a specialty shop that deals in import mods? Or will most dealerships do it, and do I want to trust them to do it?

Keep in mind, I live in SE Oklahoma... not exactly a hotbed of import racing or anything like that. <sigh>

Probably going to buy a set of V12s or RE-11s for my third try at rear tires, but I need to get the suspension problems fixed pronto. Tired of my Z being parked! I love my Tahoe, too, but hell, winter is coming and I'm not going to be driving the Z much... I want to have some fun before I have to park it! lol

Thanks for any help you guys can offer... I'm doing alot of reading here and learning a ton!

<edit> Currently running 255s up front and 285s on the back. Going to go with 305s on the rear this time, I think.
