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.

It's not an either or, they replace different bolts on the suspension.

The lock outs are replacing the eccentric bolts where your new adjustable SPL arm attaches to the chassis. No need for 2 adjustment points here.

The toe bolts are a more adjustable version of the existing eccentric toe adjustment bolt, which is where your spring bucket attaches to the chassis.

Look I got stance coilovers with an aggressive drop.. I have the SPL CAMBER ARMS Plus SPL TOE ARMS ..The toe arms were very very important to have with the camber arms for adjustment..The question is now..since you are only going with go with replacing the springs in this case..your going to need to get the SPL camber arms..And..Spl midinks. Look it up..The give you more toe adjustment
