I just finished installing everything. I took the car for a test drive and it seems as i have alot of toe out and i can actually hear my tires making noise as if they are dragging a bit. My steering wheels is also off center by quite a bit. Is this normal without having my alignment done yet or is their something else going on?
Normal, yes. You altered the suspension to the car. So the alignment is off. But you know that. You said you replaced rear camber kit. What about the toe bolts. Were they included in the kit? I just need that specify info to be sure. If so, the toe is probably off bad. I couldn't see you getting it close with your eye.
Being you replaced both springs and camber at same time. You might need to get a alignment now and then wait until the springs settle and do it again. Most put springs on there car, wait for them to settle, then go get a alignment and put the camber/toe bolts on at that time. Or you could of put them on yourself and went and get the alignment that same day.

yes they came with toe bolts i put them on the car. Yeah my cars rear tires are toed in pretty badly. I did not know that my steering wheel would be off centered i just though that would happen with the front being out of alignment. BY THE WAY I JUST DID THE BACK TODAY AND LEFT THE FRONT ALONE UNTIL TOMMORROW.
I don't see how the steering would be off from the rear only. Maybe the bad toe is causing a push in the front, which is causing a reaction to push the steering off. Get the fronts on and get alignment and another after springs have settled, being you have already installed the camber/toe bolts now instead of waiting. I'm not being a smart a**, just telling you, you could of saved yourself one alignment cost. After they settle, the alignment won't be off to much, so it's going to be more of a touch up.
