i had them....
the only way to fix the turning radius problem was to yank em off.
horrible, djm should put a disclaimer of what crap this kit it.
i followed their "advice" to the T and got toxic shocks all around. what a joke. i could feel the paint as i drove over a crosswalk.
hotchkis all the way.

I have a DJM kit on my 01 r/t and yes they should have a disclaimer if you have camber on the front your top control arms need to be slotted and that is about 3 hours with the labor and if you know enough you can do it youself with a grinder. That should help for the mean time unless you want to change the kit.

on the lower control arm there is a little tab. this needs to be grinded down. dont remove the whole thing as this will let your tires rub frame. grind and check for clearance often...a little grind goes a long way...

Turn your steering wheel all the way to the right.Look at the left arm.You'll see a little tab,along the edge, keeping the spindle from touching the arm.Should see a lil wear if you often go stop to stop.Grind that down and youll get some turning radius back.
