1. swift springs + spl rear camber arms and I'm good to go right ?

2. do i need rear toe bolts or lock out kit ?

3. after install, wait a week for it to settle in then get alignment right ?

4. any vendors that can supply me with this package ?

- thanks
You need lock outs for where you use the SPL camber arm. The eccentric bolts are redundant with the SPL.

Toe bolts are not a must, but help you get less -camber and a touch toe in.
I ran without them for awhile but just added them to help with alignment.

Put a few hundred miles on it before alignment. Here are the specs I use...
Front, Zero toe (not the middle of spec range) Camber or caster is not adjustable with OEM arms.
Rear, -1.75 camber or so, 1/32" each side toe in, 1/16" total rear toe in.

Without toe bolts you will get around -2 degrees camber with the same toe settings. Toe is the more important part to me. The Z is sensitive to the toe settings, especially the rear. You will see less tire wear too.

Z1 or Kamispeed... hope this helps.
