With all the camber plate switching that people have been doing with Stance coils, a lot of people are complaining that they lose their allignment. This is for Stance coils, but I'm sure it works for other brands.
#1: Jack up the car and put jack stands, obviously. Remove wheels.
#2: Remove the bottom nut on each side of the stab bar. The nut that connects to the control arm.
#3: Remove middle nut on top of coilover. (pic1) Use a spanner wrench on top of coilover to keep it from rotating. (pic2)

#4: The coilovers will drop down, be careful, they drop quick. (The camber plate should not be on the coilover, disregard that part of the picture.)

#5: Mark where the 4 allen key bolts that adjust the camber are placed so you can put them back at the same place. Remove them, then remove camber plate.
#6: Install new camber plates at same place and tighten the 4 allen key bolts.
#7: Use a jack to push control arm upwards and push the coilover back into the hole. Install top nut again.
#8: Bolt the stab bar into place.
#9: Put wheels back on and hope the problem is fixed.
The problem people seem to have is that they remove the coilovers completly and they lose the position of the bottom bracket that bolts to the spindle. (There is camber adjustment here.)
Hope this helps.
